For some reason I can't begin to fathom, the preceding link ignores the
existence of all the daemontools-inspired inits:

* Runit
* S6, s6-rc
* nosh
* perp
* Suckless init + daemontools-encore

I can't help this reminding me of Lennart Poettering's statement that
systemd is better than Upstart and sysvinit, as if no other
alternatives existed.
