[Asterisk-Dev] The Zaptel init scripts must die!

[Kevin P. Fleming]

Ok, so maybe that's a little strong :-)

Is there any reason we keep these things around? Is there really any 
value in not making the administrator use the existing module 
loading/hotplug facilities offered by their distro? On the Gentoo and 
Debian systems that I operate, it is ridiculously easy to list the 
modules I want loaded at boot time (in 
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and /etc/modules, respectively), and 
on some systems using kernel module autoloading will load them without 
even the need for that effort.

Let's take a poll from the developer community: are these scripts 
providing any value? Are we just making it easy for people to not 
actually understand what they are doing when they install Zaptel on a 
modern distro?
