[CALUG] Difference between telinit and init

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

What I would prefer is that I would agree with the guy who made the 
choice. By leaving all the other choice in, there is a guaranteed 
non-zero probability that other people will use them, and that you will 
have to deal with the results.

Of course, it's easy to throw a bunch of features together and "let 
people choose". What is Difficult is to find the Best one.

We don't need More Choices, we need Better ones. In fact, I would argue 
that you have NO choice. You are forced to make the Best choice or risk 
being labeled (by yourself as well as others) as suboptimal.

And I disagree that circumstances differ all that much. Well, of course 
they do, but much less than you would think.
