Distributors ponder a systemd change

In my experience as linux instructor as well as handling the migration of legacy sysv initscripts in the hundreds I agree that the learning curve for systemd is less than the learning curve of both system-v and bash and shell scripting combined but managing to cram into students heads all the different type units ( close to 20 now ) within an hour or two and manage to have them write them as well within that time frame well let's just say you must have higher intelligent and more efficient audience or relatively few in class compared to me and the problem with subtle difference between distribution still exist so the notion that that upstream can use the same type unit file across distribution is not always so ( thou in many cases it will just work ).

Daemon vs socket activation, path used in type units and simply the name of the component ( apache vs httpd for example ) etc still differs between distributions and that problem will never be solved unless unification in the core/baseOS can be achieve so those upstream(s) that actually care and ship initscripts of any kind are still dealing with that issue.
