Interestingly, FreeBSD is well along in resolving remaining issues such that nosh can supplant the init/rc.d tools in use for ~15 years. See [0]. Haven't yet learned about nosh in detail. It does appear to be well thought out, and obviously it's been around for quite a while reaching some state of maturity. While I've not noticed particular difficulties with the current init system in FBSD, my system is relatively straightforward. I can see how dependency complications can arise in complex situations. Given the notorious controversy over systemd, it's curious that at least some Linux distributions haven't adopted nosh as an alternative to systemd. Perhaps such distributions exist, though if so not well publicized.
