Hello. Can't this be already done somehow ? In RINIT stage obviously. I don't understand why to change our API to add a feature we already can use ? Julien.P

The RFC explains the motivation reasonably clearly. In particular:

Using RINIT is error prone and a little bit dangerous, because is a bit too early for some data to be cleanly created (globals).

Basically, it's a standardised implementation, and allows the code to run at a more appropriate phase of execution. -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
