So would have the sysvinit PID1 plus daemontools. No more init scripts
or pidfiles. Or, if you didn't want any part of sysvinit on your system,
you could have developed the equivalent of Suckless Init:

http://git.suckless.org/sinit/tree/config.def.h
http://git.suckless.org/sinit/tree/sinit.c

Combined, they're less than 100 lines of code.
