Where "terrible" is a linux developer code word for "old" :-).
I'm still running our production clusters on cman + rgmanager, an old
and deprecated cluster stack. I'm doing it on purpose because old is
stable. I have no problem at all with "old" as a general concept.
As just one example, try setting up sysvinit with proper shutdown
ordering. As another, try having complex start up requirements. You'll
need basically a program, not a script. No, sysvinit was seriously
limited and cludgey.
I'm still struggling to adapt to systemd, it's been a painful process,
but the more I learn, the more I understand why a replacement was long
over due.
