*blink* and you entirely missed the point there <g>

initng is limiting, it's just an alternate way of doing the same thing
that we do now and is no better or worse than any other so-called
"dependency init" system from what I can tell.

I think that if we're going to replace SysVinit, we should shoot for
something a lot whole better; maybe something that can replace init,
cron, at, etc. in one swoop.

Perhaps something that could solve the use cases:

	I have an iPod and want my podcast script run every hour
	while it's plugged in.

	I want my backup-db script run whenever postgresql is
	stopped.

	I want apache run on my machine, and restarted whenever
	it crashes.
