In what way is that a "big argument"? BSD has their own rc-thing (not sysv init), OS X has launchd (not sysv init, shares many similarities with systemd actually, such as socket activation), Solaris has SMF (again, not sysv init), etc.
Apart from a bunch of non-mainstream Linux distros sticking with sysv init, who else is actually using it?
- Grishnakh 11y agoNo one. That's why this is such a stupid argument. BSD and OSX and Solaris and other Unixes have been doing their own thing for ages, and none of them worried about being compatible with other competing Unixes. But somehow Linux distros are wrong to do their own thing (collectively), and should be worried about *BSD and OSX? It makes no sense.
