That'll make upgrades *ever* so much fun. What's that, you want to swap
out /sbin/init or change /etc/inittab? You'll have to shut down the
system and boot from a different device, then. I'm hating this already,
and I'm not even using a system with such a requirement.

Hypothetical software hate. Ain't it grand.
