> it shiped

you completely missed the point of the comment and the article.

yes, it shipped, completely broken. lots and lots of functionality was lost for a while (and some not deemed enterpise-worthy still are).

what seems more correct for you in this car anaology: suppose

- some cars have the turn signal on top left stalk

- other cars have the wiper and healigth control on the top stalk.

would you standardize them by:

a) set a industry standard and wait for them to follow, with a period or brands permanently Opting out (let's say golf carts without turn signals)

or b) force legislation from top down to immediately repurpose the top left stalk for turn signals via sopftware update, no matter if some companies will make the headlight control not work for years or keep the now-wrongly marked control permanently?

systemd is option B. the same system did could easily have been done with a standards for init scritpts and opt-in. yet it was done with a top down idiotic decision that was self serving to some players.
