9 Wow. I think this is a great idea, especially if it significantly speeds
10 up the booting process. It would be great to boot 4x faster. We would
11 save hundreds of hacker-hours. I am not a big fan of XML, but I think
12 you are using it wisely here.

14 In order to make acceptance easier, would it be possible to run both
15 systems side by side (or one controlling the other)? That way people
16 could use your system for standard services that have been converted
17 but they are not locked out from using services that have not yet
18 been converted.

20 The Gentoo init system is the best and simplest I've seen. It looks
21 like you are building on top of the ideas developed there. This
22 is a good thing.

24 Peace.
