I think that's to be expected - as you point out noone else uses a
symbolic naming scheme so some of the usual Linux tools are not "aware" of
it. (But that's always the case when transitioning from one way of doing
things to another).

I could point to old BSD boxes and show how having umpteen rc.* files in
/etc is pretty damn confusing especially if you're trying to figure out
how to startup a service. As an example, its only recently that certain
BSDs started using a central /etc/rc.d folder for startup scripts - took
'em long enough to realize that this was probably a good idea all along
and that its OK to borrow from the SysV world now and then :-)
