I have read your whole Blog on s6, and I have a few questions -

Benefits over runit?
why use database instead of symlinks?
why some command-line options do not have a long form?
you said that the concept of runlevels in runit didn't work in case of udevd, which had to be run unsupervised in runlevel 1. How does s6 address this problem?
why there is no man documentation for s6 and it's related binaries?
did Gerrit Pape abandon runit? Has development stopped?

Hi @subnut, I have answered your questions on the supervision mailing-list. You can read my answer here (with my apologies for the horrendous formatting of mail-archive.com): https://www.mail-archive.com/supervision@list.skarnet.org/msg02692.html
