I think that ultimately rcd should _be_ init, and should support
systemd-style services (where the service doesn't daemonize and logs to
stderr).  I haven't looked at the code, but I suspect that very little
is missing to make that possible: rcd needs to be prepared to reap
processes it didn't fork, and it needs to be able to read /etc/ttys and
manage ttys (which aren't much different from any other service).
