You don't have to understand the universe. But you do have to
understand that to the professional programmers on the list, it is more
than possible to feel no awe at the sight of sysvinit. It is quite
reasonable. After all, it is a small, easily understood program. Modern
programs are a hundred, a thousand times the size of that.

And no,
problems do not leak all over the place. Competent programmers employ
modularity to limit leakage.

There is a bit of a disconnect
here.
