Even though I agree that we should never have been forced to reinvent a
wheel that wasn't broken, I have no problem with co-existence. But the
systemd cabal might not want to share. Will be interesting to see if at
some point those unit files are locked down in a way that prevents the
conversion. Then back to the creative drawing board. One possible
scenario . . . if init freedom can survive long enough, systemd might
just trip over its own feet and go poof. Hey, I can dream . . . :D

Hmm, I understood
http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/sysd2v/sysd2v-0.2.sh
to be the code, and that it's about to be included in the sysvinit
package.
If it works well enough, it'll be a handy tool for init script
writers, even though it implicitly validates the existence of
something the world could have been without to start with.

I'm in a bit of a mood because I thought that a script to convert
systemd units to init style shell scripts would be worthy of at least
some discussion.

Well holy cow, give us a chance!
That conversion is pretty technical, and I haven't yet seen the source
code: Its location isn't obvious. I can't discuss something I have
little knowledge of. After all, we're not systemd fanboiz. The URL you
supplied raises more questions than answers.
For instance, how the script decides whether to execute something in a
function or straightaway is a bit of a mystery to me. Another mystery
is which init system the output is intended to control. It doesn't
look
like any sysvinit scripts I've seen, and it's for sure not runit, s6
or
Epoch.
If anyone finds the URL of the *actual code* of the converter, please
post it.
You're right about one thing: This is great news. Whether we end up
using the script and adapting to other inits by parsing the output, or
whether we end up using part of the script to work with each init,
this
should make life easier.
