meh, that was fully possible before systemd.
The real sticking point were distro package managers and the odd file placement difference (mostly regarding where to put the rc script to have things start on boot).
This meant you could not just put a package out there and tell some clueless web monkey to go curl it straight into production as root. And IMO that was a good thing.
