A disclaimer is perhaps in order; I have done a fair bit with figuring
out launchd, and written (positively, even!) about it.
I just don't think it's a good tool for the very early bootstrapping phase
of system startup, because there's a lot of existing programs that need some
kind of dependency-checking functionality provided externally. From a design
standpoint, I'm not even sure they're wrong; that seems like the kind of code
that's tricky enough that we shouldn't have to have fifty separate
implementations.
