Feel free to disagree with this point, but going with my definition: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/why.html Then it's disingenuous to say that svsvinit does not handle fsck, mount, quota, console setup, locale to name a few. It does via its ecosystem on nearly any system using it. In fact that list scares me as to the number of dependencies it must have to achieve that list of features.
