Yeah, but this is like having one piece of software that copies files
to ext3 filesystems, and a different one that copies to reiser
filesystems.  The Unix Way is to have a tool that does one thing and
does it well.  Consolidating at and cron and initd and inetd into one
more capable init system is actually bringing these things *closer* to
The Unix Way.
