I think it's important to distinguish between the concept of the init process vs specific implementations of the init process.

The article talks about the init process in general (the process that runs as PID 1 and picks orphaned processes). There are different implementations of init (such as SysV-style, systemd, Upstart etc) but it doesn't make a difference for this article.
