Hi,

You do make a valid point. One of the reasons for the fast adoption of
systemd has been the easy interface (service files) for developers and
packagers.
The fastest way to make inroads with an alternative init imo is to adopt
the service file format from systemd (and embrace, extend, and extinguish?).

Just my 2 cents.

Grtz.
