[talk] In Contrast to BSD init, A history of modern init systems (1992-2015)

[Malcolm Matalka]

It is not an init system, as I said in the first email you responded to,
however multiple init systems have drawn inspiration directly from it such
as runit and s6.  It is also covered in the initial link that kicked off
this discussion due to its influence.

It would be appreciated if you read the content being discussed, and your
own links, better, especially when you take on an aggressive and
authoritative tone.

Thanks.
