    Sysadmins like myself never needed to write our own "inits and services managers". We made any desired changes to the init scripts right after the base OS install, then never had to mess with (or suffer a failed boot from) them again.

    We have no need of "service managers", since the proper fix for a crashed process is to fix the problem that caused it to crash, rather than just stupidly re-starting it with the same crippling problem it had before.
