I think you really should quantify what 'all of init' means, without
this you are addressing a problem that is merely perceived. Just a quick
look shows that the sysvinit package is about 120KB unpacked, for that
you get a solution that is tested, robust, and supported across Yocto.

Sure, but every new wheel starts exactly this way, and we are already
discussing how to make it do things that sysvinit does for you :-)
