These four things should be covered for alraedy.

This is currently not dealt with, I have added this to my todo list
now. We'll come up with something. Most likely the tty devices should
then just pull in the indivdual gettys via dependencies. Probably
something we should have done anyway...

There's https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614245 which
currently is an issue when using plymouth in conjunction with
systemd. Ray promised to look into this every day now ;-)

These should become unit files like any other, however marked for use in
early boot or late shutdown. I'll prep something and file bugs.

This should become a normal unit file, though ordered to be executed
before X/prefdm. I'll prep something and file bugs.

I have some ideas on this, but this isn't fixed yet. This is not
finished yet. But then again, it's not really something that makes the
system unusable, is it? ;-)

Yepp, indeed.

The only other package that installs something in /etc/init i know if is
vpnc. Is anybody aware of any other packages that need some replacement
script? Hands up!
