No, I wasn't; I don't recall having seen an indication of where these
quotes were coming from (except that context seemed to imply that one
previous quote had come from a systemd-related bug report).

Looking back now I see an "according to the man pages" comment, but that
wasn't closely enough associated with the quote that I expected them to
be related, and it wasn't clear which (set of) man pages that would be
in any case. I see a few more hints at the sysvinit origin of the quote
(including within second part of the quote itself) now that I look
again, but I'm not sure how much of that is just the benefit of
hindsight...
