chkconfig stat level: lots of services in the 90s (was: Re: rpms/cups/devel cups.init,1.12,1.13 cups.spec,1.346,1.347)

[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Hi,

noticed below commit and started to wonder: why do we have so many
services with start-levels between 90 and 99? On my F7 machine there
seems to be at least 6 services which anlone use the level 98 (see below
as well) -- and lots of them start after readahead_later, which is, if I
understood readahead_later correctly, not what we want.

Is it time for somebody to just take a look at the mess ^w^w all the
init script we ship, take a look at the interdependencies and reorder
some of them and use the whole space between 0 and 99 more sanely (maybe
we should track it in the wiki -- not sure)? Or is that unneeded with
the "FCNewInit" stuff on the horizon?
