I agree that we should only support mutually exclusive init systems.
Doing otherwise would make things much more complicated, with no real
benefit. Buildroot is mostly aimed at small to medium sized embedded
systems, and for those, it would really be strange to have multiple
init systems in place at the same time, even though in theory they
could live together.
