thanks

I didn't notice this was actually a Release Goal [1].  Tagging appropiately.

I should note that the patch I sent has an unwanted side-effect:
unability to send messages to init until after first reboot, which
means first reboot can't be done cleanly.

Maybe clients can be modified to attempt old path first then try with
/run/initctl (or vice-versa), or update scripts could play some kind
of symlink trick.  I haven't had time to resolve this however.
