I was an advocate of this idea during the last "systemd or not", well
let's call it "discussion" and I still think, that's a fair
compromise. Since systemd uses descriptive init jobs it is somewhat
feasible to automatically generate some shell based sysvinit scripts
out of them.
That would make us all happy, as I am one of these persons who wants
both, kFreeBSD and systemd on Linux.
However, I was thinking of a possible implementation scenario back
then and I found some complicated design decision to solve before
realizing this idea. It is more complicated than it seems. There are
some features in systemd like socket or bus invocation and most
important cgroups which make it non trivial to write a thin legacy
wrapper for non-Linux kernels.
Effectively we would end up to basically fork systemd or carry very
heavy patches in systemd. Not sure if that sounds desirable in the
long term, as I do not think upstream is interested to merge any of
these hacks.
