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 the last ten years subsystems are coming and going every incarnation/replacment is hyped as "so much better", has a lot of bugs which are fixed over some years and if most of them are fixed the next guy thinks he has a better replacement in the past there were real developers which was able to maintain and optimize code over a long time without permanently break backward-compatible, these days people start to throw away and begin from scratch in the hope they will not make old mistakes and suboptimal software-design again what is true, they all make a lot of new/other mistakes and as d said - as soon as they fixed it is called "outdated" and will be replaced again --
