I was suggesting /sbin because I thought we were keeping /lib/udev for the
distributed files only.

/etc/sysconfig/clock (not rcS), use the UTC set there instead of this
crazy GMT thing, use CLOCKPARAMS throughout, but probably get rid of the
initscript-specific includes (/etc/sysconfig/rc and the variable
containing the main bootscript functions file).
Of course we would change it for LFS. I was just quoting the ubuntu file.

shutdown?
Yes.

to the udev rule, and just kill the start symlinks? That way we only have
one file to maintain...
That's a good idea. We just need to kill the S links. We still need the
K links.
