Init scripts will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that #systemd v260 is out. The last remnants of the old unix philosophy have been swept away - unit files now have direct control over their services

@bluca I was long a holdout for init scripts but when I work with Alpine today, it feels like last centuries software. systemd, with all the complexity it brought, is a major improvement. Laggards like me needed to learn ;-)

@bluca OpenRC has "init scripts" and it's not bad at all honestly It's standardized and the syntax is still pretty much straightforward
