Hey, I just discovered the brand new systemd. systemd is a replacement PID 1 with a break in direction from sysvinit worthy of NixOS (IMHO). The blog post^1 introducing systemd goes amazingly in-depth into the reasons for a new approach, and why existing init replacements (upstart in particular - picked on, I think, because it's clearly the next best) aren't sufficient.
