So does any init system or process supervisor system that has more than trivially tiny installation base.
The entire point of developing a new one is to reduce the number of the minority cases when it does not "Just Works(tm)"
Look at monit. It "Just works(tm)" for 99.9% of the use cases but boy its single threaded, everything is sequentially controlled with multi-second granularity is infuriatingly bad if you are one of the unlucky souls that wants monit-like functionality where every group runs independently from the other groups.
