That's not true for 2.2 or 2.3 kernels at least:

0 #) ps axl|grep init
   100     0     1     0   0   0    244    52 pci_conf1_w S   ?   0:04
init [5]
0 #) kill -9 1                                                    ^^^^
0 #) ps axl|grep init
   100     0     1     0   0   0    244    52 pci_conf1_w S   ?   0:04
init [5]
                                                                  ^^^^
