As part of the cleanup efforts in initscripts package, there are several files that should be either completely removed (because they are no longer relavant, etc.), or moved to different (and more relevant) packages.

Many of the files end up in initscripts before, because they were needed for Fedora distribution, and nobody cared much about where they should really belong. If we want to move forward with our plans for initscripts, we need to solve these files first.

Another reason to make this change is to remove some dependencies of other packages on initscripts. Preferably, we would like to get to a point in the future, where the initscripts package could be uninstalled for the users that wish to do so (on their own risk).

Since not all of the files might have a good package candiate where they should be moved, we expect to create a new package for Fedora/RHEL, where files like it should live. The work name for this package should be randc (read random crap) for now.
