Wonder what happens when init dies and kernel oopses? Does kernel
sync/umount filesystems? If so I'd let it be.
Wonder also does kernel sync/umount filesystems when one issues
reboot(whatever)?

I still view some awkwardness in the procedure. You treat init as perpetuum
mobile of which we have to break a detail to get it stopped. I mostly tend
to treat it as a process that just exits when your system have accomplished
its task. Where am I wrong, Denys?
