I hope you find this comment useful.
Yes, it was a very useful UX return, thank you. I think I'm going to work on an early version of s6-frontend, which will only provide daemontools-style and/or runit-style command emulation (depending on build-time options), and maybe a preliminary version of the "s6" generic command as well. That way, at least the need for short commands will be met, and the daemontools/runit muscle memory can be actually leveraged for s6. -- Laurent
