Sure, but it could be wrong if we updated the kernel doc again after
initscripts was fixed and some chose not to update initscripts on
their boxes.  There could be a note about running a particular version
of initscripts, but I'd rather not start down the path of turning the
kernel doc into something that looks like distro release notes.

Either way it seems like there could be a chance for something to be
out of sync, so I guess we just have to pick the one that seems 'least
bad.'  I'd vote for whatever creates the fewest kernel patches. ;-)
