This is not KISS.  KISS means keep what you're doing simple.  Doing things
manually in initscripts instead of somewhere which was designed to hold
information of that nature is not simple, it is complicated.

If the KISS philosophy meant "make it simpler for the user", Ubuntu would be the
best KISS distro out there at the moment and Arch would be aspiring to be like
Ubuntu.  Although there is nothing wrong with Ubuntu, I hope we can all agree
that is not what we want Arch to be.
