Scripts are a crutch to avoid properly designed daemons and
configuration systems. I never edit initscripts to "configure"
daemons, because they would just be overwritten at the next package
upgrade. Configuration should be separate from code.
And given my experience dealing with actual real-world designed daemons
and other such things, I'd say we've shown no ability to 'properly' design
them and won't be showing that anytime soon. So since we have to live in
the world, let's not go shooting our feet off.
