An excellent summary. To me it flies in the face of UNIX' killer feature, it's simplicity. That it seems to be one guy pushing this barrow is worrying.

I don't think there's `one guy pushing this barrow' primarily because everything but Gentoo uses it. (And event then, you _can_ use it).

One company actually, called RedHat.

Canonical fought back for a while with upstart, but they lost.

See, RedHat got their assorted junk integrated tightly into GNOME (partly also KDE) and "legacy" options killed.
