[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] So, what should we do about /etc/rc.boot/ (BTS #546401)?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

So, I guess everyone saw the /etc/rc.boot/ discussion in #546401?
What should we do?  The options as I see it is

 1) Leave it as it is, update the release notes for Squeeze do
    document the change.
 2) Revert the change temporarely, and decide on a deadline when the
    feature is going away for good.
 3) Revert the change, and rewrite the rc.boot(5) manual page to no
    longer state that the feature is obsolete.

I do not really have a preference myself.  I am just quite sure that
this option is out of the question:

 4) Revert the change, claim the feature is obsolete in the manual
    page but make no plan to actually remove the feature.

Why was /etc/rc.boot/ flagged as obsolete in the first place?

Happy hacking,
