Probably because it makes no sense outside of sysvinit, except that as
a footgun.
(Also, is it equivalent to pkill --inverse?)

I welcome the effort in general. Like Andreas, I question whether having

Hello,
For quite some time (since 2006!) there has been a discussion at[1] about
changing from the sysvinit-utils version of pidof to the procps one. A
