I think what we have now is the better alternative.

I realise you and some others may disagree as is your right.

My opinion regarding systemd is not so much "if it ain't broke don't fix 
it" as "it works pretty well, so don't replace it with something 
complicated, heavy, with binary formats and where the lead devs are rude 
to the users."


I would be interested in a side discussion of what's wrong with sysvinit 
and how it could be improved incrementally...
