As you know, RedHat, Debian, Suse etc have very different bootup
procedures. We don't want ISVs to bother with that. So we need a
system that works across distributions.
On debian-devel there has been talk about a better setup with dpkg-like
dependancies. This is a good thing. You don't have to bother with at
which priority to place a new service. You can just say "this service
must be started after networking and name services are available".
The LSB people are seriously looking at a system already created by
fellow Debian developers which does all this and more.
Normally I don't like changing something that's working either. I
do not really like things like file-rc. But this is actually something
that is not an alternative but a superiour solution.
