Good idea.

 It looks like you're talking here not about the sysvinit maintainers, but

Right, can someone go and ask the sysvinit-utils or sysvinit-tools
upstream what they are going to do?  If they are going to keep pidof
then the change is not required.  If the projects plans is to
retire/move it, then we will need to move it too.
I'm not sure exactly who the exact upstream project it is.
