So, let me get this straight: systemd adds functionality that is impossible to achieve using sysvinit, still supports using old style init-files *and* is in no way mandatory to use anyway (if you still want to use sysvinit, who's stopping you?!). And that somehow is a threat to the supreme flexibility of Linux? Uhmmmm....

Well, systemd might be too good so everybody would switch to it. And that's definitely non-Unixy! There must be 100500 different incompatible forks and variations of _everything_!
