How much of that improvement would be realised if we added a dependable, declarative (i.e. config-based instead of shell-script-based) service configuration support to sysvinit ?
You can't trivially add these features to sysvinit without fundamentally rewriting it. systemd uses many modern Linux kernel features and system calls which means you would have to use these features in a rewritten sysvinit as well to be able to provide the reliability and features of systemd which means you'd loose the portability again.
