That depends on how useful the transition to this scheme would be considered to be. If it would be adopted, it'd probably wouldn't take as long as /usr/doc -> /usr/share/doc transition for example as that one was more of a cosmetic nature (IMHO). Without looking at any code involved, I would also like to point out that it is may be possible to add support for this init scheme to update-rc.d[1], which is what is used in Debian to handle init scripts (because there already is a different system than SysV init as someone pointed out). Such support could make adoption of the system just a bit more possible. Regards, Filip [1] without changing, at least initially, the way update-rc.d gets called. -- "For readers who have not been involved in balanced tree implementations, algorithms of this class are notorious for being much more work to implement than one would expect from their description." -- www.devlinux.com/projects/reiserfs/2_1.html
