I was going to go to that page and add something like the note I mentioned, 
and then suggest that you (Brian) and others check out that page and make 
additional modifications as appropriate.

But, on going to that page, I see that Greg Wooledge actually modified that 
page yesterday at 17:32 (don't know if that is UTC or something else).  Thank 
you, Greg.

The entry in the "change log" for his changes says: 

"discuss the alternative init systems a bit, and at least attempt to describe 
the current state of affairs"

It looks good to me (;-) but I really know nothing about what is being 
discussed.

I'd suggest others take a look, and make modifications / additions as 
appropriate.

Thanks again to Greg who took the bull by the horns (and, asfaict, did not get 
gored).
