Changing old init scripts to systemd scripts is un-asked for work for many. And it is made by a polarising figure, which leads to emotional refusal.

Poorly-designed, poorly-implemented, half-baked ideas, legendary feature creep that presents a corollary to Zawinsky's Law, awful developers, clear political agendas in the devteam, Embrace-Extend-Extinguish tactics, against the basic UNIX concept of "many small apps that do one thing and do it well", an informal adoption of Windows service/logging techniques, political lobbying by the developers, and a literal RPC-based backdoor into the enforceability of the GPL.

Oh, I didn't hear that one before - any more info?
