You say "see ...", but I've already commented on that comment. Your analogy with Torvalds isn't that relevant. Building an init daemon didn't conflict with the long-term goals, and the advantages are reasonably clear. Consider the FOQ "Why is Taskwarrior written in C++ and not something hackable". We can construct a similar question to pose to Torvalds - "Why is git written in C and not a more modern language like C++?" We know what Torvalds thinks of C++ ("C++ is a horrible language") and of that proposal. If he ignored or blew off the first email to suggest rewriting git in C++ then we know exactly where git would be. This demonstrates that your argument concerning "can you implement X, Y, and Z for me, it would make my life much better" has little predictive or even explanatory power.
