I don't trust them neither..
But, they should have addressed this problem after all they were waving the flag of standards..
They seems to forgot a Standard Init API mechanism.. shame..

I spoke about that because I took 5 minutes to look at last development of SysVInit, and indeed you find there some stuff about systemd and dbus integration..
I understand the dbus integration as a way, so that SysVinit daemons could coexist with Dbus controlled daemons..

The Idea arrived..
Why not have an Interpreter, for the UnitFiles, that then internally do things as SysVInit does?
In this way we could preserve SysVinit daemons functionality, and when impossible( or a "unscallable wall arrive".. ), SysVinit will continue to control, the usual daemons, plus the wave of non SysVinit ones( in the mean time we could have time to port daemons at the speed we can.. ).

So this idea is some sort of a patched SysVinit, to have half of the 'Script Injector' idea( the interpreter of unit files part ), and some logic to do it like sysVInit does..
But that would also means.. that we had to have in /etc/init.d/, all the s*tty systemD service files.. which is a bit crazy..
