You may also be interested in what Annvix has done.  Annvix has used
runit for init for quite a few years now, and very successfully.  It
still handles traditional "initscripts", but doesn't handle number-based
runlevels or runlevel switching (largely due to the fact that Annvix has
no GUI and thus has no real need for that).

But the /sbin/rc script is completely custom, as are the 1, 2, and 3
scripts (using execline).  There's no real documentation for anything,
but (I hope) the code is clean enough to be understandable:

http://svn.annvix.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/tools/runit/trunk/

That's got the relevant runit scripts we use to handle init.  Note that
we don't completely do away with sysvinit... there are some useful tools
that come with it; we just don't use sysvinit's init.
