Yes, sorry for my grumpiness popping through :)
No I highly approved!
You guys don't know when to stop, do you?
Everyone knows there's very little correlation between the character count, word count, line lenght or byte size of a program file and it's function.

This is so silly it doesn't bear even dignifying with a response. Then again I often lack dignity so... Everyone knows there's very little correlation between opinions that don't refer to facts and reality. You, demonstrably, either didn't read or didn't understand the source referred to, and so are unqualified to make statements about what it does, might, or might not do, and by extension the possible ramifications of those to the rest of the system. Maybe the differences in behavior and the logic wrapped around the ultimate actions are beneath your personal radar. Heck I'm even willing to concede they are probably as good as imperceptible/inconsequential to me and most everyone else too practically every time. But that does NOT mean those differences don't exist or don't end up mattering sometime somewhere to somebody and exist for no reason. Even in those cases where shutdown does end up calling init, it does not "just" do that. It does it as a result of a bunch of tests and other logic and does so within a specific environment it just created for the purpose. There are times when it won't do that, and times when it will, but it either wont work or won't behave exactly the same as if you had run init manually from your fully loaded interactive root login session, or su or sudo. And of course, by openSUSE 12.1 or 12.2, it will be even more complicated and variable, since "init" may not even be init but systemd...
