i would stick all inits into sys-process - its not crowded in there and 
"process" fits the init concept well IMHO.

generally i thought, we wanted to move stuff out of sys-apps, as its really 
not a good description of what a package is about.

sys-apps/ucspi-tcp and sys-apps/ucspi-ssl could move to net-misc or 
preferably net-libs. sys-apps/ucspi-proxy to net-proxy.

thanks
kind regards
