init is a program and not a system-of-anything. As ardent M$-fans, the
systemd clowns try to utilize the exact same kind of "Nothing can stop
our mighty juggernaut!" propaganda their idols also employed for a
really long time. They might start to have a point once their
anencephalus has become a proprietary product of RedHat, which is
presumably going to happen shortly after it has been secretly bought by
Daryl McBride. Until then, systemd is just a C program and completely at
the mercy of everyone who can work with the source. If I want it to
print "I'm not worthy to run on this system!" and transparently execute
sysvinit (the program) instead, then, I will do this.

Every technical problem has a technical solution and systemd is also
just a program.
