It's not ideal, but it's the best solution I know of.
systemd actually went for as complete of a redesign as it could. Rather than just patch one issue up it tried to improve almost everything at once.
Which is a fresh approach compared to what we've had before -- every distro having their own flavor of SysV helper scripts, which only do part of the job and all slightly differently.

Not so much normal end-users, as distro maintainers. It heavily appealed to people sick of writing hundreds of init scripts
