The road forward for systemd

Well, my point was that I claim that a full turing-complete programming language should not be necessary to start up most services. Instead we should just identify common code in the various init scripts and make them available directly in the init system via a simple option in the .service file or in the daemons themselves. I am quite sure that for a few services this will not work out we we will still need a shell script for them. But that's fine, it will then just spawn a shell script which as last step simply execs the real daemon. But again, there is really no need for a shell interpreter for the majority of services, and hence let's just get rid of it.
