This is good news ! I maintain a bunch of test-machines (about 10) in a lab and the prospect of moving all of them to a new init system is a bit scary - they are all in a remote place. My environment is openbox/emacs, so initscripts is a perfect fit. Having just moved all the machines to grub2 and resolved the /lib migration, embracing systemd right now appears to be a tiresome job. :-) And I have a server which I stopped upgrading a while ago. :) Sujith
