The basic idea of the two is similar: services are configured to respond (e.g. by starting or stopping) to ‘events’ and are capable of emitting ‘events’ (e.g. ‘service is ready’) of their own to which other services can respond, as opposed to the traditional concept of ‘runlevels’ to which groups of services belong. The approach does yield much faster boot times, but at the cost of vastly increased complexity in the writing and debugging of the init scripts. The approach perhaps has some merit for devices that are frequently started and stopped, such as cell phones (although my iPhone 6+ actually takes longer to boot than CentOS 6), but for ‘server’ type systems like Rivendell that get rebooted about once a year on average, the added complexity doesn’t buy you anything useful.
