yes, init is now able to provide services to its siblings. For details, please refer to the corresponding section [1] of the release notes. To see this feature used in practice, you may have a look at the new version of the gems/run/wm.run script [2]. There is a dedicated sub init for all the drivers and one for all the window-manager components. By combining init's service forwarding with the new depot tools, all the ugly conditional parts of the run script are magically gone now. See the previous version [3] of the run script for comparison.
