If it makes you more clean you can use instead:

DBus=CORBA(remember Bonobo and Orbit), systemd=Service Management Facility, journald=rsyslogd.

Hating something just because Microsoft did something like it at some point is silly.

IMO all of those are absolutely excellent ideas. Like journald is much better than what came before it, and DBus is much better than poking processes with signals, or having to talk some special protocol to each particular service.

It's not the vendor. They were incredibly stateful and opaque which caused numerous problems.
