That's fun. Cause sysvinit runs MUCH more staff as root - bash, often perl and python, various unix utils, etc.
So thanks for supplying yet another argument why systemd is better.

Um, I might point out that bash, Unix utilities, perl and python are routinely run as root by *normal system administrators*, so the fact that sysvinit init scripts often run them as root is not a meaningful argument against them or against sysvinit. They would pose security concerns in any case.
