Oh, it's not about maturity really, whether we call our tools "fooctl" vs. "systemd-foo". Our current rule in this regard is mostly about whether something is a primary interface, or bit more exotic. The primary, major, main interfaces are called "fooctl", the ones that are a tiny bit less in focus are properly namespaces as "systemd-foo". A corollary of this is all daemon binaries are called "systemd-foo", as you would almost never call them as a user. > As for /usr/libexec/systemd/systemd … well, maybe it should be called > systemd-initd from the start. Now it's too late. Well, I don't think just "systemd" for PID1 is that bad a choice... But anyway, I like my bikesheds red.
