Personally, I'm waiting for Linus Torvalds to make his own init system in the event he's fed up with all the sysvinit and systemd bullshit. Linux Kernel. Git.

  He's not going to because it doesn't affect him personally. And let's be honest, systemd isn't that bad, and has some benefits. It's not worth getting religious over. You'll know there are too many dependencies on systemd when people who don't want it (Devuan, Slackware, openBSD) can't boot a decent system without it. I don't think we're in danger of that: people who don't want systemd don't need it.

  I could see sysvinit as $torvaldsinitsystem because it has been booting linux around the world... Git did start as a tool, and has been extended, a lot. The same than the kernel booting was extended across the years to cover usage cases. If he writes pid 1 code by itself, to get rid of a issue, as he did with the kernel and with git, we will call it the Linus pid 1. But as others said, maybe he doesn't has personally annoying issues with this.

  He's actually said that he doesn't think that systemd is that bad. He didn't like the way that they submitted patches initially. He said that he doesn't have a problem with the approach and he said that people make too much of the "unix philosophy" because passing bits of text between programs really hasn't been the way that unix systems have been designed for several decades.
