  Dinit has been booting my own system for a long while, and other than a
  few hiccups on odd occasions it’s been quite reliable.

  Ok, compared to Systemd it lacks some features. It doesn’t know anything
  about Cgroups, the boot manager, filesystem mounts, dynamic users or
  binary logging. For day-to-day use on my personal desktop system, none
  of this matters, but then, I’m running a desktop based on Fluxbox and
  not much else; if I was trying to run Gnome, I’d rather expect that some
  things might not work quite as intended (on the other hand, maybe I
  could Elogind and it would all work fine… I’ve not tried, yet).

  On the plus side, compared to Systemd’s binary at 1.5mb, Dinit weighs in
  at only 123kb. It’s much smaller, but fundamentally almost as powerful,
  in my own opinion, as the former.

I applaud the OP for writing a new init system, and in light of that, the few paragraphs above serve as a good counterpoint to everyone writing how systemd does too much, is doing everything etc. In the past several years it really has been insufferable to be in the vicinity of any discussion related to systemd/init systems.
