mostly you would be able to do |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
# eselect init addon e4rat |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
instead. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
But the whole eselect init should be an opt-in till we are 100% sure it |
| 28 |
covers the usual scenarios. |

The basic idea is that you would have a wrapper (shellscript or binary) |
| 31 |
that just reads from a known location what to run once and what to run |
| 32 |
the following times, something along the lines of |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
if (switching) |
| 35 |
do_switch |
| 36 |
else |
| 37 |
exec $real_init |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
With all the possible failovers. |
