Ok, that still does not make a point: we *already* have scripts to do
a lot of what is listed, so yet another implementation does not make a
point, to my mind.
Note: I'm not saying that systemd is bad, I'm just saying that the array
is completely unfair: yes, initscripts don't do a lot of that. Simply
because there is already software that do these.
