Wow, this sounds so much like a conspiracy theory.  The fact is that the 
people who write the code inevitably dictate which software is maintained, 
based on their interests and convictions, and they're pretty much unanimous 
that systemd is a better solution to the problem of booting and maintaining 
daemons than the solution we currently have.

So yeah, I guess that's been the game plan all along: make booting and daemon 
control more consistent, faster, and easier for most users to maintain.
