What I don't like:

- It's aversion for a FHS compliant directory structure; I get warnings all
  over the place that DJB will not support it. I partially buy the /services
  directory, but the other top-level directories not; and they introduce
  extra system-administration headaches. And why not /etc/services?

- Need to reboot to make it go on installation.

Generally, daemontools requires to do things so much different it is painful
to support.
