Not sure what peeing outdoors has to do with sysV init scripts, but
chkconfig has one really foolish 'feature'. Presuming config info is still
kept in the init scripts, that is.

Configuration info goes in configuration files.

Code goes in executable files.

Putting either one into the other is bad.

A script should not change because a configuration change was made.

Comments in either about looking at the other is fine, though. That's what
comments are for :). Not for holding configuration info.
