I think the mountpoint binary has already been phased out. At least so far as it is not built/installed when running "make" in the sysvinit source directory. The code is still there for people who specifically want to use it, but it's not being actively used/installed by default. Is there any benefit to removing the mountpoint.c file completely? Keeping in mind some platforms may be using sysvinit outside of the GNU/Linux ecosystem so I think we should be sure they have their own mountpoint implementation before we remove ours. Does Hurd or kFreeBSD run util-linux, for example? - Jesse
