i don't like the idea that the links are managed via some script, i'd like 
easily to boot to upstart-mode or sysvinit-mode with a kernel commandline, or 
something in /etc/sysconfig/system the both solutions should be available and 
configured at the same time.

also i'd not invent new paths, but use /etc/init for upstart scripts.

otherwise matches quite much with my vision...
