Before FC4 was released there was a disussion about how to make the
boot
process faster.
But until now (FC5/FC6-rawhide) nothing has been done.
Early login was in development but it stopped,
Systemservices was never in a working state.
Any plans on improving the boot process in FC6?
I would suggest to use initng which is in review for extras now [1].
But to get it in the final release it would be better to have it in
rawhide rather than in extras.

While I would love to see the current Init system replaced for various
reasons, I'm concerned if InitNG is the correct technical solution.
Do we even have a clear spec for what we require from a replacement, so
far the document with the most effort going into this seems to be Seth
Nickell' SystemServices document.
Just saying we should use initng reminds me of that old saying - when
all you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail.
