Those of us who appeared to favor sysvinit were saying "let's wait until we have something good." We also pointed out the false choice of prematurely narrowing it to systemd, Upstart or sysvinit. Now of course, the systemd cabal will argue that we can't wait any longer. My question to them is, why was sysvinit not a dire emergency until Red Hat's systemd juggernaut came along, and then all of a sudden we just couldn't wait?
