On the other hand, proper event-driven init system (instead of horrible shell scripts with all sorts of fragile "sleep"s and other hacks) sounds sexy for an embedded system. I sometimes get annoyed how home routers, NAS, etc. are slow to boot up
Though the embedded systems I refer to have much more than 16 MB of RAM, more like 128 and up.
