init.d/

Really - I do not see the problem systemd is trying to solve. Sure it's 
cute - and it may be adding value/fluffy kittens/administrative ease. 
But init.d/ is not *broken* and in fact works very well on embedded 
devices where systemd may well be too heavy.

Then there's upstart and I have vaguely heard of others.
