Initscripts will disappear once we stop provide backwards compatibility 
to them.

Regarding authors and initscripts I can safely say after going through 
what close to 600 components shipping initscripts in Fedora that the 
majority of the authors of those initscript did not have had no clue about
what they were doing when they wrote them.

Ironically the same pattern seems to be emerging amongst unit writers so 
as things stand now history is on a path to repeat itself in that regard.
