- If a move is made toward using a Sys-V compatible init as the default init
- it may be important to provide a short set of documentation that explains
- the ins and outs of a run-level init. With the fundamental important of
- init there could very well be a flood of new-user problems when they
- suddenly find out that this beast reacts radically different than what
- they have been used to. There have been plenty of horror stories about
- whacked inits and inittab's already. Luckily everyone seems to have a
- sufficiently healthy respect for problems to keep a bootable-rootable
- floppy around.
