in some article someone says:

I am of the opinion that this IS a flaw, however, this should not stop
some enterprising programmer to write a NEW INIT scanner. This can be
the SINGLE INIT in the System folder, and it's job is to start-up all
the INITS it finds in some predetermined folder. (maybe called "INITS"?)
This way, you could replace all those INITS in the system folder with 
one INIT and one folder.

The new INIT scanner could also be extended to provide more functionality
than the standard one. For example, make it a cdev/INIT. The cdev part can
let the user specify INIT load order, or modifier key actions to be
imposed at load time, or other options.

Any takers?
