I do hope for something like this. Continuing to support SysV doesn't
have to be a requirement. A comfortable transition away from SysV
initscripts is possible, as long as native init definitions are provided
for the official init system[s], and for whatever the ports have.
(That's also why GNU/kFreeBSD and Hurd ought to pick the same).
