Seems like that would give him a lot of time to work on the filesystem.  :-)

I'm used to be a big fan of XFS, but that seems to have it's own
issues in later kernels.  My XFS partitions have slowed down
tremendously in the couple years.  Especially with large files &
directories.  VMware workstation/server, where the virtual disk is one
large file, is so slow it's unusable on a XFS partition.

Switching to EXT4 improved the speed of my workstation a LOT!!!  i.e.
"make mrproper" and "make unpack" used to take forever on XFS, and it
takes almost no time on EXT4.

Your loss.  :-)

With VIM I programmed the F2 key to delete the insserv lines, and F3
to force-write (read-only scripts) and move to the next file.

In the scripts directory, I did a "vim *", and alternated pressing F2
& F3 until I was done.

I could have done it all automatically, but I wanted to watch it
happen in case some of the scripts had any non-standard lines that
caused problems (none did).
