One of the reasons I think I need s6-rc is a race between starting logger
and starting the services that need logging. I need to be sure I get every
log produced and the example logging service from s6 looks awesome.
Does the logging from s6-linux-init setup in stage1 work the same way as
the example from s6? Does it use s6-log?
Do I need to have a separate logging service if one was already created in
stage1?

Awesome

This simplifies my work a lot, thanks!
