It's a massive tumor that doesn't even do anything with all that code. Linux is full of useless garbage like that. The Linux kernel itself is like that. An ``init system'' shouldn't even exist. It's the Linux version of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Why does that need more code than an entire OS used to need?
