Without their permission. Because it’s ‘new’ and ‘advanced’, which means that it must be ‘better’? I’m not surprised when such things appear in Ubuntu, where ‘fixing’ things that aren’t broken has become one of the defining characteristics of the distro. However, I admit that I was jarred when it showed up in RHEL 7. Seriously, how many laptops does that get run on, relative to the number of ‘big iron’ servers? > Worst: you can't go back; packagers don't *include* sysVinit scripts > anymore, by and large.
