> It sounds like using systemd is a terrible idea for memory-constrained devices, so you really don’t want to see it in the embedded world.

On the other hand, proper event-driven init system (instead of horrible shell scripts with all sorts of fragile "sleep"s and other hacks) sounds sexy for an embedded system. I sometimes get annoyed how home routers, NAS, etc. are slow to boot up

Though the embedded systems I refer to have much more than 16 MB of RAM, more like 128 and up.

Is there a list of init systems that aren't made of shell scripts? Epoch is the only one I found.
