Dont know enough details to answer that.

I am aware that they can be installed at the same time. It is still a
replacement as they cannot run in parallel. From my experiences trying
out Initng, I am of the opinion that it it has pretty good potential but
needs to cook in extras-devel for a while before it gets adopted within
core.

Yes. We are working on that. For now it needs to be in extras if you
want to work on it.
