In retrospect, "Going its own way" for init systems is a normal thing in the Unix world. That was actually a terrible example. At best I could say that the sheer scope of systemd is an example of Linux going its own way. SMF and launchd, for example, don't change how logging is done. I don't believe either of those include their own DNS resolver either.
