If you're willing to have a stage1 and stage2, no, it isn't. I
personally consider the existance of a separate stage1 and stage2 to be
suboptimal, and think the ability to mix ordering of runonce and
runlongs is a good thing that might be essential in some use cases.

So on suckless-init plus daemontools-encore (or s6) plus LittKit, if I
had any stage1 at all, it was just remounting / read-write, running
LittKit lk_prepare script, and then running whatever daemontools-encore
calls their svscanboot program. All the rest happens in what would
normally be called stage 2.
