We both agree that the current purpose of /etc/rc6.d/S* is not to start
anything. I just think it's a hack to hard-code the purpose of a runlevel
like that.
I also think it's a bug in sysvinit and mdutils (raidtools too?) that
the urandom and mdutils (raid too?) kill scripts are run from a S*
script.
I understand your rationale for doing it this way, but the numbers should
have a purpose, and reorganizing them might be a worthy goal. On my system I
don't have anything after K91 (WHY does inn need to stop so late? apache is
even worse - it stops after sysklogd!) so unless something is using K95
there's enough reorganization room.
[cue the subliminal chanting for run-scripts, which can end all this number
horror, assuming I can ever finish it]

Of course.
