If you truly want to run something literally before everything else, we'd
have to create something new, which perhaps is what you were getting at
above. Before we add such a thing though, I'd like to get an idea of why
it would be needed.
I originally added /etc/rc.early to have a way to do things that
needed to happen before fsck, such as arming watchdogs, tweaking
drive parameters or get crypto key material necessary for filesystem
access.
None of these things seems necessary today.
BTW (with no disrespect to phk), I forgot to mention that this is exactly
why I want to remove this thing instead of just modifying it. These kinds
of one-off hacks tend to take on a life of their own, grow roots (and
sometimes teeth) and then they can never be removed. It's also why I am
often resistant to changing things without a really good reason.
