Kaizen means "good change", not the first phrase that occurs to me, or
a lot of people, when thinking of systemd. Kaizen is a continuing cycle
of Plan/Do/Check/Act, with *small* increments. One point of "Check" is
see how people like it.
A Kaizen-like change would have been to replace a few things in PID 1,
requiring no changes to the kernel, and no collaboration with userland,
other than modes that were used by the old one. When that went well,
they could have added a few features, on and on, and everyone would
have been happy.
