Yep, people really do not like systemd. Leaving aside the problem that it seems to be so Linux-centric it is impossible to port elsewhere. Note that OpenBSD has never used sysVinit or variants. We have a much simpler system that works well as long as the software being controlled is well written. That said there is a GSOC project underway as we type to bring a much slimmed down systemd look-alike functionality to OpenBSD to allow more not-well written software to be ported. .... Ken
