IMHO the preceding is complexity you don't need, at least if I read you
correctly and you're suggesting non-systemd inits process Unit Files at
boot time. The startup files, be they init scripts, run scripts or
Epoch .conf files, can be done offline using a conversion plus testing
and touchup, and then used at boot time.
