That proposed implementation is misleading and clearly not used in
practice. Moreover, alternatives exist, and have already existed for
years. Instead of looking at that hypothetical, go and look at some
actual implementations of process #1 programs to see what working
programs, including several minimalist ones, do. See:
* Gerrit Pape's runit (http://smarden.org/runit/runit.8.html)
(https://packages.debian.org/jessie/runit)
* Felix von Leitner's minit (http://www.fefe.de/minit/)
(https://packages.debian.org/jessie/minit)
* John Fremlin's jinit (http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/jinit/)
* Nico Schottelius' cinit (http://www.nico.schottelius.org/software/cinit/)
* Joachim Nilsson's finit (http://troglobit.com/finit.html)
* Init NG (http://initng.org/trac)
* the system manager in the nosh package
