Lennart pats himself on the back for his parallel instantiation. Notice
how I allowed primecache.sh to run, in the background, while other boot

circle, creating 1 daemon supervisors, without stopping to wait if
those 1 daemon supervisors succeed. In parallel, those 1 daemon
supervisors each start their daemon, whether it takes 0.1 seconds or 30
seconds.
IN OTHER WORDS...
If you're happy with sysvinit, that's fine. But if sysvinit no longer
suits your use case, or you're afraid it will no longer work with
systemd apps and daemons, then don't try to massively bring up to date
the 30 year old jalopy from the days of Devo and Pat Banatar and
distributors and carburetors, instead switch to something that already
accommodates your needs: Runit (or s6).
And don't forget, until Devuan Devs get around to making the runit
package a genuine PID1, you can, right now, today, run runit on top of
sysvinit, and one by one switch services from /etc/rc.d/init.d scripts
to runit run scripts, by shutting off the service on the sysvinit end,
and downloading or making a runit run script and then making one
symlink.
A lot of run scripts are available at
http://smarden.org/runit/runscripts.htm . I will be curating a
collection of more runit run scripts in the near future.
In other words, unless you view sysvinit as an antique to be kept
around for sentimental value, don't put any work into it. Drive it
while it fits your needs, then call the tow truck to tow it away and
get your brand new runit supervisor.

Pottering only selling point was the systemd is faster, my testings on
many systems says that's a lie. I'm not saying it can't be faster, while
using systemd if I push and hold the on/off switch my computer shuts
down fast.
If I understand you, you're trying to dump sysvinit because it's old,
well it's not nearly as old as me and I can still kick butt and I see
nothing wrong using sysv script, as a user it's working for me, simple
config I can read and edit. What's wrong with that?
