Sure, in an ideal world. But as I said in my initial mail, if you have
crappy scripts provided by third-parties, this is not always an option.
And I don't think init scripts are going to fully disappear in the next
10 years, it's not realistic - especially if you look at a lot of
third-party scripts, where the authors appear to have had no clue about
what they were doing.
