One thing I’m surprised about in the init wars of past decade(s?) is that in almost half a century of Unix nobody got up and said “why don’t we, instead of bickering about implementation details, come up with single format to declare desired system startup behavior, and then users can pick whichever implementation they like to read and execute that format”? Can’t be impossible to distill some basics about service startup configuration and dependencies, can it? Then make it extensible and cry about differences in extension support like we do about per-browser css options, but at least converge on some basics.
