Etcnet was very involved with scripts which was always a problem for Red Hat. Many Red Hat scripts have been known for being substandard in quality and reliability, possibly a reason why they wanted systemd so bad.

However, any daemon can work well if proper scripting is applied and mistakes are corrected properly.

FYI, there is (was?) another alternative:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=195365

Known problems:

* highly relies on initscripts package
* almost undocumented, official wiki page is compilation of comments
from sources.
* used in only one distro (AltLinux)
