Re: init scripts [was: If Not Systemd, then What?]

Ummm.... those are NOT systemd scripts shipped by the upstream sendmail 
developers.  They ship sysvinit scripts, period.  Which is my point.  
Major upstream application developers do not seem to be jumping on 
systemd.  If anything, what I'm seeing are "oh sh&t, I guess we should 
develop systemd service units at some point."
