Yeah, the old init script setup was sorely lacking in some areas (especially dependencies). While there were well-written init scripts that were easy to understand, had plenty of configuration options, etc., there were many that were largely unreadable. I like to distinguish systemd-the-pid-1 from systemd-the-project; I generally like systemd-the-pid-1 (it isn't perfect by any means, but I think it is an improvement). On the other hand, I dislike the scope creep and "replace all the wheels" approach of systemd-the-project. -- Chris Adams <linux at cmadams.net>
