Not trying to nit pick but I am among the group who did not realize there is a distinction between sysV init and RC files. Is it possible to use one without the other?

Just speculating but surely it must have something to do with the entire stack being designed under one roof, no? Having the kernel devs be able to walk across the campus and ask the hardware guys what a register is for must speed up develo
