There is need for something more graphical and/or interactive than 
classical boot messages stream. Maybe an ncurses interface allowing the 
admin to browse the save logs from various daemon and showing which are 
already up, which failed and what is currently running.

This architecture will allow also fancy graphical bootup trees showing 
the startup (it will rock even more than Windows blue floating bar at 
the bottom of the screen ;) and whats more important (but contains less 
hype) would allow easy browsing of these logs with a GUI or web 
interface (including checking what is running and what can but turned 
on/off)
