Just to be clear as this has been mentioned several times in recent threads:
System V style initialisation is _not_ 40 years old. SysV was only released in
1983 (and even after that time there were alternatives - the BSDs never adopted
this approach to system initialisation).
so let it be 28 years now
Still way too old ... technology has advanced a lot in the past 28 years
this is poor argumentation which too many peopole follow unreflected
Its not any poorer then "it has been like that for 28 years so don't
dare to change it".
Where the sole reason for this kind of arguments seem to be "I
can't/don't want to learn anything new" ... which is really tiresome.
Working with technology like this requires change and / or learning
something new at some point. You cant just get used to one thing and
think you can stick to that for the rest of your life.
I don't think there would be so much push back if it was painless to people and didn't break things.

I know it is very frustrating to me when stuff that worked now all of sudden doesn't because somebody decided
that we have better, faster, newer way of doing things so lets do it!

Sound in fedora a few years ago under went this exact scenario and it took a couple of releases for me before it became
somewhat stable again.
