   You're welcome to use an old version of UNIX if you don't want anything   
   modern.   
      
   I use vi, sed, awk, perl, etc. a whole lot more than I manually use init   
   scripts or systemd. I've got my unix system and it does what I want.   
      
   If you don't like systemd, don't use it. All of this whinging about it   
   is old and worn out.
