You are very right with the above, some features are probably never going to be implemented elsewhere than in systemd. However, this doesn't mean that anything non-systemd must implement all things that systemd does, or just die. It really doesn't make sense to tell that, for example, OpenRC should be forced into implementing a parser of .timer files, just because some maintainers wont care about cron jobs. These cron jobs could be maintained by those who care, just like with sysv-rc scripts, as a best-effort basis. Thomas Goirand (zigo)
