This is a mindblower. To quote Bruce Dubbs:

''As a personal note, I do not like this decision. To me LFS is about learning how a system works. Understanding the boot process is a big part of that. systemd is about 1678 "C" files plus many data files. System V is "22" C files plus about 50 short bash scripts and data files. Yes, systemd provides a lot of capabilities, but we will be losing some things I consider important.

However, the decision needs to be made.''

SysVInit is abusing runlevel scripts for starting daemons which has always been a hack to be able to resolve dependencies between daemons.

Learning Linux or Unix from scratch shouldn’t include using crude hacks.

I'm with you on this. SysVinit is better than systemd, but far from perfect. I don't enjoy tediously maintaining all of those symlinks, and prefer the BSD approach myself.

One project on my distro is a new init that will be much, much simpler than SysV, more like BSD and without all the years of cruft.
