Linux distros without systemd

the -d suffix is traditionally for service daemons. SystemD is not a service daemon.

Lowercase is a UNIX convention. SystemD does not have a UNIX approach.

Since SystemD is not a Unix service daemon it shouldn't be spelled "systemd" to prevent confusion.

This is...bizarre.

Should I pejoratively call you "CRaIg" because I think you don't match up to my standards of what a Craig, or even a craig, is? Is that okay?

I don't think it's okay. Names have meaning. It is a really minor bit of respect to use them correctly.

I don't follow. As you state yourself, "names have meaning". By conventions the developers actively disregard, the meaning of the name "systemd" implies several things that the program is not.
