If I am reading this right, it looks like you are agreeing with me? We both think that centralized service managers are good, and are consistent with Unix way; and having each daemon implement chroot and logging manually is bad. Re "nosh": this looks pretty good. I like that it can read systemd's unit files as well -- this means it provides a feasible systemd alternative for those who don't like systemd, but are not ready to rewrite all service files manually.
