I, too, would like to see that as an abstraction layer over any init
system, rather than a fork. This is pretty much achievable (Gentoo
supports many intialization systems) and needed (there was a discussion
of the bsd port already).

Don't agree with that. It is perfectly OK to advertise the fork in the
main nixos channel. Otherwise, how would you receive any feedback or
support?
