Hey! you stole my idea ;-)
Seriously. I've been pondering about such an init replacement with a built
in interpreter (and Guile is an obvious choice) for quite a while now --
ever since the olden days when Lutz Donnerhacke presented his init replacement
at Linux Kongress 1999. I'm thrilled that you are tackling it.

Hrm. Have you considered a more dependency-oriented approach, where you
have `services' you want to have running which depend on other services
(a run level could be just a top-level service). This would manage the
starting order of things in an elegant way.
(If that's old things for you please excuse me for stating the obvious,
but then I think this would be a feature to include in the announcement).
Thanks
