Then Linux is *absolutely and definitely* doomed.

Today and in the present situation Linux does not need *different*
init systems with *different* needs.

What Linux needs is just *one* bloody init system.

The Linux ecosystem cannot, at this point in time and in the present
situation, by any means afford to squander more time and manpower.

Do you know why the Republican loyalists lost the civil war
(1936-1939) to the Nationalists in Spain?

Leyend has it that it was because every move they made was first
discussed over and over in endless assemblies.

In turn, Franco and his henchmen pushed through mercilessly and
whoever dared question an order from the "Generalisimo" or ask why,
was summarily shot.

This:

"Once upon a time, there was a very interesting and widely used Unix

And that will be it.
