Here is the corrected table:

4.10: System V (in 2004), first release, adopted from Debian

6.10: Upstart (in 2006), see http://upstart.ubuntu.com/index.html

16.04: systemd (in 2016) and it was gradual.

This is part of the natural evolution of software. There are new requirements and new software is needed to implement them.

Well, technically, systemd was 15.04.
