I see there are several directories related to the "init" phase and 
mechanism.

Technically it makes little difference, but I believe it is more 
understandable to someone "new" that the 'init' mechanisms are just 
that, and 'storing' them as subdirectories of 'init' or INIT shows their 
degree of 'sameness' or purpose. And then, for project-documentation a 
README file that describes the purpose/history/status of the init 
mechanism (e.g., I read that ununtu used to use upstart, but 1.15/1.16 
switched to systemd)

Internally, it could also be a good moment to rename the 'component' 
from ''sysvinit'' to just ''init''. Maybe it could become 
'cloudinit.init' at a meta level, and at a lower level becomes 
cloudinit._init.distro. I am terrible at names - but I do like to have 
'like-'things organized in folders.

Comments! ?
