I just read some of these docs. Factoring is yummy, but I'm concerned about
how much backward compatibility we can expect. I've just rather laboriously
migrated a startup item to a per-user bootstrap daemon (though I must admit
I did this not in pursuit of architectural purity but because my hand was
forced by an obscure technicality). It would be a frustrating shame if it
broke so soon. Also, what do these changes coming in Tiger imply for the
techniques described in the unpublished-except-via-request-to-DTS Technote
2120 (née 2077)?
