I'm still leaning towards Felix's minit as a potential
alternative:

But, it'll take some work getting it up to where system-config, editing
sysconfig/ files, and using familiar script utils are compatible.
Using minit as a replacement for init saves zero time (and adds
additional complexity due to its (IMO, broken) dependency model.)
It's fixing the underlying actions under init that is the big win.
