The main thing I know about file-rc is that it's a corner case that further breaks upgrade handling when packages need to renumber their symlinks in /etc/rc?.d. I know "embedded" is often used as a catch-all to describe all kinds of crackful ideas, but I'm at a loss to see how this makes file-rc in particular appealing to anyone. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
