The PC-BSD system-BS-D was an April Fools joke.

However, launchd is a completely different beast than systemd is. Launchd is more akin to SMF on Solaris/Illumos and s6 on GNU/Linux being init and service supervisors only, which are forward thinking.

They still require other daemons to manage the system, but cleanly provide hooks for existing services to work with without reconstituting everything from the ground, up, or just let the daemon work as intended separately.

I wouldn't mind launchd or SMF. They're doing init correctly, not ass backwards.
