No, they're going to another distribution.

But they do pay for their software - they either have their own
programmers, or hire consultants to do the work for them.  And either
way, they don't see the need to change existing init scripts (which may
have been in place for years) to conform to LSB style, or to create .deb
files for packaging.  Either way, it's more money spent in already tight
budgets.
