Thanks for working on this patchset, I think its nearly there. I'm
wondering if we should set 

POKY_INIT_MANAGER_libc-musl = "sysvinit"

since I am worried about what I read about musl and systemd from a
security perspective.

I'm also wondering what we need to do with the autobuilder init system
tests, I think those may need rewriting to add some sysvinit tests.

Does POKY_INIT_MANAGER = "sysvinit systemd" work for the mode where we
allow old sysvinit scripts for compatibility?

Cheers,

Richard
