I would be interested why sysvinit needed to be hacked - I mean, if it's that
what counts -ejecting a CD - over the system's overall integrity then most
people are probably totally paranoid about their systems :-)
Although I can understand that from Klaus' perspective it probably makes some
sense to eject the CD but I mean, the machine shuts off completely with an
open CD tray - this is one of the most notable misbehaviors that I personally
don't like to happen. I'd be much better off installing eject and call that
during a reboot, but certainly not on a complete shutdown :-)
