Currently I am not aware of any serious effort besides the systemd project to provide a coherent, modern core userland for Linux distros. There's your problem.

There's your problem. You don't even have any defined scope. A "coherent, modern core userland" doesn't actually mean anything concrete - it covers enormous ground that no single package can obey.
Modern service managers are plentiful - nosh, s6 and perp probably being the most promising.
The "old sysvinit thing" has been replaced many times for over 15 years by now. Just because you didn't notice, well, that's your problem.
- chousuke 11y agoYou know what? I read the s6 page and found this: http://uselessd.darknedgy.net/ProSystemdAntiSystemd/ http://uselessd.darknedgy.net/ProSystemdAntiSystemd/ I found it rather enlightening and found myself agreeing with pretty much everything. Trying to argue for or against systemd is a waste of time, so I will stop. All the time spent debating would likely be better used just spreading knowledge about your preferred methods so that people can make informed choices when solving their own problems.
