It is most unlikely that init on Suse does all what SMF can do, as there is 
also the capability of detecting died services even in case these services did 
double fork...

Also for automated concurrency, you need data structures that describe 
dependencies, do they exist already?

I believe that this port is trivial once the contract filesystem has been 
ported.
