Heh. Well, it's a matter of what level of hack you're comfortable with.
In the current system, the options are:
- X-blahblah flag that /etc/rc checks for (woo, grep!), and then decides
not to stop
- X-blahblah flag that chkconfig reads, and therefore doesn't write
/etc/rc{0,6}.d/ links (won't help upgrades)
Obviously, if you move to a different init system, all this changes.
