I see. I personally prefer to retain compat code if said code is so
small that it can hardly be incorrect, especially when the breakage
(like kernel panics) can be very severe. Arguably a major stylistic
difference.

Now I see; thanks. I also realised that the revised `s6-svc -X'
proposal would result in wrong behaviour when there exists a `./finish'
script, because the supervisor would exit early (and prematurely).

BTW, <https://git.skarnet.org/> seems to be returning empty HTTP replies
now; both <https://skarnet.org/> and <http://git.skarnet.org/> work as
expected though.
