Nobody's arguing for sysvinit as a long term solution, for the exact
reasons you post above. Those of us who appeared to favor sysvinit were
saying "let's wait until we have something good." We also pointed out
the false choice of prematurely narrowing it to systemd, Upstart or
sysvinit.
Now of course, the systemd cabal will argue that we can't wait any
longer. My question to them is, why was sysvinit not a dire emergency
until Red Hat's systemd juggernaut came along, and then all of a
sudden we just couldn't wait?
