I was looking into the initscripts git history and found the commit
for that change made in 12/12/2005:

http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=initscripts.git;a=blob;f=rc.sysinit;hb=675e9d69d02233e0079672f6c10cbe07da3027ad

There is no information of bugreport or feature request about it, so
should it be sane to open a feature request to remove this behaviour?
Would anyone disagree?
