No, _exit() still supplies a return code so that's orthogonal to this issue.
Making that change just means that if we ever did try to make
FEATURE_CLEAN_UP mean anything (and introduced runlevels to init so that
switching the running set of daemons could be done without rebooting), you
would have just introduced a bug we'd have to fix. We really don't want to
use _exit() for anything, that I'm aware of.

I do not think it means what you think it means.
