What's so wrong about SystemV init? I've read Richard Gooch's arguments, and
as far as System V init is concerned, his strongest argument is its
complexity. I can only speak for myself, but that's one of the first things
I've learned when I installed my GNU/Linux system, and I didn't find it
excessively difficult.

Are there other disadvantages that justify not using SystemV init?
