Based on the design goals, I would guess that they intentionally want a PID 1 that doesn't properly handle and pass signals to child processes :-D

I can't tell if that means probably systemd or not.

write the init as a perl script; you know you want to.

If people can make emacs pid 1 and run the system in lisp, surely perl can do the job! Or maybe that doesn't follow; emacs is already its own OS...
