Certainly enough interest in both init systems, where I would not want
one or the other removed.  and either a symlink to /sbin/init, or
init=/sbin/init.systemd [if it existed] from grub would handle that.

Only issue I can see is that it can be a bit confusing installing both
including configuration files, and not sure if you would want
/etc/init.d populated with the lfs-bootscripts when booting up
systemd,  as I think systemd can use init.d scripts during boot.


(Skipping all the problems, it would be nice to see a single source
for updates to the LFS system and conformity between the 2 books.
When updating my scripts, I watch both LFS and LFS-systemd commits
[about 178 messages behind so far])
