It would have been fixed for a long time if it were easy enough. :-)
Uhm there are init systems available that are baesd on or using sysvinit
or at least are trying to stay compatible (e.g. upstart), without
reinventing
the wheel or declare the unix philosophy obsolote.
AFAIK systemd is trying to stay backwards compatible at least in the
sense that upstart is. It can parse old initscripts, and there is even
a target in archlinux that will read your DAEMONS array so you can
pretend you never switched. All this other stuff is just a more
powerful option in systemd that people can move to as they're ready.
