I've used Linux for a couple of decades or so. SysV initscripts have been a pain for many of those years. Do you do RH/Mandrake/Mandriva flavoured or the SuSE ones and other oddities. I decided to wander over to Gentoo for my personal stuff for a decade or so. Now the bloody initscripts need to conform to OpenRC. At least Mr Marples gave me some help with this. A systemd unit is a simple thing to rustle up. I have recently been informed that an OpenRC script is too these days and I'll fiddle up a VM and have another bash with Gentoo. My job as Managing Director of my company is to maintain an open mind! I don't think that not shipping a systemd unit will crap out any piece of software. I've seen quite a few packages of code, source and that and an initscript in ./contrib probably works on Debian and farts loudly on SuSE or vv. Who cares? systemd can run it quite easily and with minimal pissing around. With logging and all the other useful stuff.
