    Who are the remaining users of sysvinit? Alpine & Gentoo are on OpenRC, Void is on runit, the BSDs have always had their own init, everything else I can think of is either on systemd, or hardly significant. I mean, sysvinit was horrible, and systemd is horrible in very different ways, just wondering who and why is holding on.
