I am supporting a system that was built by other people, so I don't have the luxury of changing the scripting language it uses, and it uses execline.
And right now I just Googled it and found the documentation on S6 and it goes on about how execline is a better scripting language than the shell and how horrible the source code to the Shell is and yes I agree Bournegol is insane.
Which doesn't exactly read like execline is an internal tool and you don't have to actually touch it.

@resuna@ohai.social @mia@shrimptest.0x0.st The documentation is old for the most part and really deserves a full pass, so maybe it's not clear enough that execline is completely optional, but it has always been the case.
