Or systemd, which is fine for many use cases.

1) can you use systemd to supervise a single process without adopting most of systemd?

2) based on the train of horrors for every single network daemon they write, do you trust that their systems level code is somehow good?

3) well their record on systems level code isn't that great either, username parsing really didn't go well

4) is systemd demonstrating engineering excellence of as simple as possible, but no simpler?

5) out of the box, my experience with Debian + systemd + a crashy service (from packages) was that the specific crashes I was getting didn't result in a restart, because it got a segfault instead of simply exiting. --- also, it changed the boot process so I couldn't ctrl-c out of slow things, so that was net negative.
