Signoff x86_64.

> ****************************
> 
> New initscripts removes legacy code, requires up-to-date packages
> 
> As of initscripts 2011.04.1 we expect all other packages (except for
> the kernel) to be up-to-date. This in particular includes udev, mdadm,
> dmraid, lvm.

> Some highlights from the changelog:
> 
> * We now let udev deal with mdadm, and no longer call mdadm explicitly
> * We now strongly discourage the use of HWCLOCK="localtime", as this
> may lead to several known and unfixable bugs
> * The adjustment of the hwclock for drift is moved into a daemon that
> should not be used in most scenarios as it can lead to subtle bugs
> (especially if using dual-boot or ntp)
> 
> New features:
> * a new binary, /sbin/rc, that allows to start/stop and list daemons
> * support FakeRAID (dmraid)
> * support btrfs

Sounds good to me, although the expectation for users not to cherry pick
upgrades is not limited to initscripts.

Cheers.
