If you car requires more knowledge to maintain than you have, you can get a different car, pay someone to maintain it or get a bike. Those are the only options I see. I don't see how init is any different than a car. You have those same options. I'm sure someone somewhere is paying RH or canonical or in house devs/admins to maintain init scripts for their application stacks.
- cthalupa 12y agoI hesitated to make the analogy because I expected a response like this, stretching the analogy too far. It isn't a matter of managing init scripts - that's easy. Continually updating a distro to use your init system of choice is a wholly different matter. I can change the oil in my car. I can't replace the transmission.
