What should we expect from a modern init system?

Your comparison makes no sense at all. E.g. systemd dependencies are minimal.

My take: if he builds a bicycle it would be lean, fast and he'd analyse all existing designs to make that happen.

What do dependencies have to do with anything? If I make a huge massive bloated mess of shit, it isn't suddenly "lean" because I included everything in it rather than linking to it as a dependency.

I suggest investigating systemd then. It isn't bloated. See for instance http://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/2013/06/09/systemd-bloa.... There are a lot of different parts to it.

Note the time of the blog. Saying systemd is bloated is IMO so 2013 :P

It is bloated. Saying "I am cool with how bloated it is" does not change that.
