No, no, this has nothing to do with this patch.

This was another patch, "don't panic if /sbin/init exits or killed", which
changed the current behaviour of /sbin/init unconditionally. And while I
thought this change is "obviously good" it wasn't, because we have users
which relies on the current behaviour.
