From what I observe, in most cases, I've seen init scripts depending on /etc/sysconfig which seems reasonable to me.
Not really, no. see.. once upon a time.. ( :-) ) when systems had very limited processing power & storage, lacked of shared libraries and plug and play devices did not exist, programs could not afford any other way of getting startup parameters than the command line. That times are gone, now your cellphone has more computing power than NASA Apollo missions that sent people to the moon, yet for historical reasons some software still relies solely on this mechanism, that's one of the reasons sysconfig exists.
Yast sysconfig as a centralize solution seems reasonable to me as well.
