Hi,

I'm maintaining the celery package, a distributes task task queue
written in Python. Upstream ships a set of init scripts that are
installed by the package but I'm having second thoughts about this
because the scripts are essentially useless without a project (e.g. a
django website) that provides the configuration and the logic that
celery is supposed to execute. Right now there is no other package,
that interfaces with celery directly or relies on it (providing
/config/logic). I'm using the supervisor package to take care of my
celery processes, because I need to run them for several projects in
parallel, again something the init scripts do not support.

The question is, should I still keep them as part of the package even?
I know that there are people who use them, but to me they are
cumbersome and inferior to the supervisor approach when it comes to
handling and configuration.

Cheers,
