This is a rather disingenuous response.

It assumes that this is a troll post - which I don't think is fair. The author has concerns that are legitimate to them, and outright dismissal as a troll, whether or not you agree with them, is petty and judgmental.

Second, you are somehow conflating dislike of systemd with love of sysv init. The cognitive dissonance here only makes sense to me if you believe that systemd is perfectly fine, and think that the only reason people dislike it is because it's different.

However, if someone is recommending a solution that utilizes SMF, is it such a stretch to think that it might not be because they are in love with sysv init, and instead might think that the implementation of systemd is lacking?

I personally like the underlying idea of SystemD - because I like SMF. I do not like the implementation of systemd, and also have reservations about the people helming the project.
