This does make a lot of sense to me, initscripts being scripts is a
major slowdown factor
by itself.
It is not like you want to edit the scripts all the time, so there is
no reason for them being scripts.
While you don't edit them *all* the time, it is something that is done
regularly, and it is something most admins can do with ease.
Turn them in a C program and you left admins out in the cold, most of
them.
I would be very, very wary of accepting a C "init script".
An unmanageable system is a useless system.
Simo.
