    Then it has to supply its own init scripts (or units or whatever) to run separate daemons. Or take part of init's job and run and supervise everything by itself, which isn't a really good idea.

  It uses python-reconfigure[0] to parse the config files into syntas trees (similar to ASTs). Seems to be written by the same author.
