That is right. I did the same in the past, until I recognize that I
waste a lot of effort.

Sure. I hope that the tool remains general enough to allow to include
scenarios that I was not able to foresee.

Let's say that how the tool is started is open and can be easy
customized. Updating to systemd is surely nice.

One use of case I have is to not use neither sysVinit not systemd at
all. The tool is put into a initrd and it is the only task running, that
is I modified rcS to start only the tool and to speed up the booting
process. But as I said, this is only a use case.

Best regards,
Stefano
