Unfortunately, on some embedded and/or mobile systems, one has to stick to an old Linux kernel, even when using the latest user space. Systemd needs at least Linux 3.13. I'm not sure, whether missing SysV support is wishlist, minor, or normal. I would accept normal, but some maintainers would downgrade severity. The best solution (IMHO) would be dropping SysV support in all packages and use systemd-to-sysvinit-converter¹ in case of need. I never tried it myself, however. ¹https://github.com/akhilvij/systemd-to-sysvinit-converter
