do you want systems that work? or houses of cards?
Personally, I think init should be static, and can't think of any way
it would benefit from shared libraries. I'm not qualified to comment
on the various things people have said about /bin/sh.
(Possibly irrelevant data point: Solaris 10, if it ever flies, will
supposedly have only shared libraries.)
Given that you've got a knob if you really care enough to change the
default, static init and /rescue should be adequate to get past all
the other bickering here, so please stop it already...
