These "simple" use cases break when you need to do anything even slightly more complex than whatever the sysvinit scripts you copied envisioned.

FTFY

systemd might be sad but makes the simple case simple. sysvinit makes everything complex and error prone.

sysvinit could be debugged, at least. I tried to debug a couple of systemd edge cases with Pottering, communicating over Github Issues, but he lost interest very quickly.

To his, credit he is reactive until he decides the issue is not worth his time.

To his discredit, he made himself into a giant bottleneck. Random systemd users can not easily understand it.
