Of course if you need to customize things you will have to adapt, to
think otherwise is crazy.

But for the majority of people out there, they never have to edit an
init script.  Heck, I haven't had to touch one myself for many many
years now and I use Linux in all sorts of different situations.

That is application configurations, and have nothing to do with systemd.

People are always worried about change, I understand.  Personally I
think they should go use slackware if they are that concerned about
change :)

It's as if people here don't trust the developers of the system that
they use to do the right thing.  And that's an attitude that is not very
wise, or useful.
