Errrmmm.... Really, did you check the archives for the issue? 

There used to be a real long thread on why/why not sysV style init
scripts. It produced not one but several flamewars iirc 8-) 

In short - if we change from the present scheme, we want something better
than just stop and restart entry points for the scripts.

What happens if the restarting is not an atomic, independent act?
