How about this: Let's call the init fight our "Hello World". Let's see
if we can prove the concept of jumpering around dependent cruft,
starting with init, and continuing on to all the rest. And let's see
if we can publicize this enough that the powers that be stop entangling
everything, and slowly detangle what they've got.

Happy New Year to all, and let's toast a 2015 that will become known as
the year of simplicity and choice.
