It started as a replacement init system. I suspected it had jumped
the shark when it sprouted an entirely new DHCP and NTP service. And this
was confirmed when I saw this:
"Leading up to this has been cursor rendering support, keyboard mapping
support, screen renderer, DRM back-end, input interface, and dozens of other
commits."

When your init system is worrying about cursor rendering, you have truly
fallen victim to severe feature bloat. I guess Jamie Zawinski was right:
"Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail."
Actually - this kind of sums it all up:
