This is excellent news, because it means I can take a lot of my
daemons out of systemd's control and put them in the control of djb's
Daemontools, which, in my opinion, is a better way to run, control,
and inspect daemons than any init system I've ever seen.
The only thing is, Daemontools has no way of telling it which order to
load things, so, for instance, I'll need to load the dns server
before Dovecot and Apache, so the dns server will continue to be
loaded by the init system.
Daemontools is an outstanding system, and I think everyone should have
at least a passing familiarity with it.
