   I’m not sure that’s historical. In the original announcement in 2010[1]   
   it already extends beyond the sysvinit responsibilities to include   
   socket activation, filesystem mounting, cgroup management, logging and   
   login accounting, with plans already in place for swap management,   
   session management and job scheduling. Anyone who imagined it had a   
   narrower focus wasn’t paying attention.   
      
   The name is a bit of a hint, really.
