26 I agree. Let me dive into it this week.

35 I feel these are not technically difficult. But the policies count,
36 besides the debates that if we really need these fancy features for an
37 init system. My current feeling (or planning) is that just to make dirty
38 ones with simple scripts to see if our community (debian is more similar
39 to us than fedora) really like the things. The rule of thumb is to
40 always make them optional, hopefully independent, components.
