Not sure yet, I am planning to upgrade my dedicated myth box and have
been contemplating this problem.

If the old init system respawned a process to frequently it would
pause for 5 mins or so before trying to launch it again. Maybe a
wrapper script that checks for a lockfile before launching the
executable and just sleeps if it exists. At least it would survive
reboots.
