'not fail' here means that the script terminates with return code 0.

This is how I would read it too.  Would a patch to add "(i.e. exit with
return code 0)" resolve the original submitter's concerns?

Though I'm still not convinced it's a sensible requirement, that clarification would resolve my main concern (i.e. having to fix init scripts to work with an absent defaults file). By the way, there's an identical requirement a few paragraphs before, so it might be good to insert the same clarification there as well.

Cheers,
Oxan
