I did not say "require", I said "encourage". I agree that it's unreasonable to expect developers to maintain init scripts that they themselves do not use in addition to init configuration for whatever init system we end up with; and I do agree that it should be fair game for people to drop the init script from their package. However, there are some advantages to be had in continue to ship init scripts (while I can see no downsides, apart from the fact that they need to be written), and in that light it can make sense for us to encourage people to continue shipping init scripts. -- This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space.
