Linux is looking more and more like Microsoft Windows every day.
(This is not a compliment.) Everything needs its own daemon, an
object library with complete class hierarchy, D-Bus hooks, and at
least two GUI management tools. But a man page and good
command-line/script integration are optional. Blech.
Anyone want to give a talk on switching to *BSD? HHOS.

On Ubuntu 7.10, I also see init scripts there. I'm guessing UpStart
still uses those, it just controls them in a more sophisticated
fashion. I would expect that for compatibility reasons.
