At some point I'd like to do something like the following patch for the
placement of files to make margianlly more sense.

Not going to do it in the immediate future (at least not the next release),
but i thought I'd put it out there.

TL;DR: put initscript files where they belong without breaking compat or
requiring user action.

Cheers,

Tom

Subject: [RFC][PATCH] move non-config files out of /etc

Place scripts that can be called from the console in /usr/bin,
and the rest in /usr/lib/initscripts/.

We symlink /etc/rc.d/functions to /usr/lib/initscripts/functions
for compatibiliy.

On upgrade we also symlink the other scripts, but not on new installs:

  if [ "$(vercmp $2 2012.0?.1)" -lt 0 ]; then
    for script in sysinit shutdown single multi; do
      ln -s "../usr/lib/initscripts/rc.${script}" /etc/
    done
  fi

The reason for these symlinks is to avoid issues with people not merging
inittab.pacnew.
