I never understood what is so bad about it that it so desperately needs to be replaced. People will talk about boot times, but the occasional fsck is the real boot time killer. A few seconds difference between sysvinit, upstart, systemd, etc. doesn't mean much to me, so I'm content to leave things alone. Of course, the more systemd becomes accepted, the more likely it may be that sysvinit becomes unsupported (either in Debian or upstream). So that should be considered when choosing and alternative to systemd. -Rob
