Troll a lot do you? ;-)
While I like C++ (and quite a number of kernel people can in fact write C++ no problem) we can have a long debate about whether the STL is in fact 'done right' :-)
Also, I don't think init (as in PID-1) should be a large program, and therefore writing it in C would be entirely reasonable.
