Great - how will you like it when the gas/brake pedals are reversed on
your next model?
A new init system is likely going to have properties that inittab
isn't
capable of expressing.
What does that have to do with maintaining interfaces? If someone can't
write a backwards-compatible interface why should you trust them to be
able to improve something?
Users will have to learn.
Or not.
