Seems the systemd advocating Trolls continue to shoot down without
saying a thing.

You missed the point, a fact can be obtained and a theory discounted
without understanding the "complete origins of the universe" which no
one can satisfy without mentioning God. The consensus was wrong and
believed to be all but proved and those very physicists are now saying
so due to those who grew up asking questions in the classroom realising
more and more that the lecturer was wrong and the attention and
work refocussed on new more likely ideas with new flaws. 

So you really believe the old theory that a single Big bang started the
universe and which and is more likely a multiverse. A term concocted
I suppose to stop treading on peoples toes. I suppose you believe in
string theory too and going faster than light puts you in the past
rather than just seeing the past, but enough digressing. This work will
likely never end but good does come of it. I suppose you blindly believe
everything physicists and Lennart says. Kindly tell me privately what
you believe is 'on base' currently as I won't spam this list any more.
I'd be shocked, if it was credible, though it may be interesting and
answer some questions leading to new ones.

/sbin/init does not demand a few dozen lines of code unless you wish
so. It is not as modular as you like without study, a major rewrite and
recompilation. I guess you missed the posts about embedded and Android
and busybox using an init system leaner than the usual /sbin/init. You
also seem to have missed or ignored the points about complex kernel
requirements  etc. that it wants to apply to every system and contrary
to the arch way 2.0.
