    (That's my complaint with systemd anyway - it violates the Unix principle of being portable and compatible).

    How is that a problem with systemd? Which other UNIX system still uses sysvinit anyway? Solaris moved to SMF ages ago, OSX certainly doesn't use it, the BSDs don't use it (since they're not related to System V UNIX to begin with), etc.

    Has anyone tried porting SMF to Linux? If not, then that isn't exactly portable either.
