I have never understood the fixation on boot time.

Simplicity was my main point. The fact that it was faster just followed. As a matter of fact I haven't rebooted this machine in about 3 weeks.

How do you handle dependencies? One of the slickest things about debian boot/init is resolvconf populating dnscache's list of dns servers with the dhcp reply. I love that. I'd wait a minute extra just for that.

It made a lot more sense before hibernation and sleep matured and stabilised.

It's easily measurable.
