Just watching this on the sidelines, but /etc/init.d/httpd on my old
Fedora installation, for an example, doesn't look a particularly complex
script.  And my brief looks at the plethora of systemd scripts (versus
the few of the other), doesn't look easier to manage.

Or do you mean some other aspect of init scripts?

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
