+DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED += "sysvinit"

Do you really want to have sysvinit removed from DISTRO_FEATURES if you're
claiming this lets you support init scripts?
Scripts would be fine, however the minimal
image boots fine with above and the scripts add about 15K compressed.
thats why its removed
