I haven't personally used initng, but looking at it it seems to keep the
standard init model while just fixing some of its biggest flaws.

Here is a short slide presentation[1] from RedHat I saw online several
months ago.  It seems to take a step back and rethink the whole
architecture itself to make it more robust for desktop use, instead of
just focusing on parallelizing init.

Of course, score++ for initng since code for it exists, while AFAIK,
none does for this.
