No problem. I use FC6 too.
Good, thanks.

The default behaviour (depends on setting in a config file) will be
automated finish few minutes after boot. It should be a good way how
collect things that depend on user's habits (for example I start
gnome-terminal, firefox and mutt after computer startup).
I assume two steps:
1) collect filenames from boot process
2) post-processing -- things like sort by first block position
All this things should be on demand. Later we can thing about more
transparent and automated solution (or about completely different
solution like fcache ;-).
I think you're saying that the daemon will terminate after collecting data
during boot, but the readahead.whenever files will only be regenerated when
a separate command is run. Thus, after installing, say, a new Firefox, the
readahead.d/default.later file will have stale entries in it until the user
notices and runs that command. I expect it will become clear when I
examine the source.
