Like I've already said too, I don't see that we need to do this change. Systemd is called /usr/lib/systemd/systemd (it should be /lib/systemd/systemd), and sysvinit is called /sbin/init,, so I don't see the need for moving init around and creating all of these symlinks. I guess I'm not completely opposed to it, I just want you to convince me that doing it has value. Where I am now is I feel like it adds complexity for almost no gain. William
