> I wonder how relevant the "small embedded systems" argument is these days, as the small embedded systems keep getting more and more powerful.

It is not only about how powerful the system is, but about keeping the system as simple as possible for maintenance and auditing. For a serial login, ssh on a static ip, syslog and a custom service or two, we tend to use busybox init or a custom bash script to using something bigger. All I was saying is, under this approach, it is nice to have "do one thing" tools.

> And if you're really resource-constrained, you're likely better off with something that's neither systemd nor SysV init?

But I never said it has to be SysV ;)

Did you just mention busybox and “do one thing” in the same paragraph?
