It is, but it's not easy to do it "good" either unfortunately. We don't
have any central place that we track which initscripts are which and a
system for grabbing them all, so we'd need to define that, along with
any exlusions/replacements for sensitive things in any case, so any way
you look at it, it's a fairly involved project. I'd rather not cobble
together something that ends up taking way more maintenance time and
takes us away from actually doing it right.

Thanks, Tom
