No, _exit() still supplies a return code so that's orthogonal to this issue.  
Making that change just means that if we ever did try to make 
FEATURE_CLEAN_UP mean anything (and introduced runlevels to init so that 
switching the running set of daemons could be done without rebooting), you 
would have just introduced a bug we'd have to fix.  We really don't want to 
use _exit() for anything, that I'm aware of.
