#systemd sucks for #embedded because it is not a design that downscales effectively. Tried systemd few times for smaller devices but it just a bad solution for anything not at least a mobile phone.

An init system that could both upscale and downscale and based on statically linked tight core would be awesome.

It could even be (partially) compatible with the same unit-file format.

In particular for this project it would make a lot of sense to implement such support because this is a need at scale:

Could even gain sponsorships from embedded companies.

... which is not same as saying systemd sucks overall OR I would some how "generally" dislike it. It is great in those deployments where it fits (e.g. my home file server and desktop PC) ;-) </disclaimer>
