My Debian server has a mix of systemd and /etc/init.d startup scripts. That’s the sort of thing where a BSD would be likely to say, ok, as of version N due in 3 months, we’re migrating everything and going from 100% old way to 100% new way.

You'll be happy to know that this is going to happen. Quoting https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/v255/NEWS

> Support for System V service scripts is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please make sure to update your software now to include a native systemd unit file instead of a legacy System V script to retain compatibility with future systemd releases.


Eh, I don’t really care either way. The ones I really care about are in my shell history. I meant that more as an example of where the BSD way would be different. Since they manage all of the software together, it’s much easier for them to do wholesale migrations like that.


Who can keep up with that? OpenBSD is a placid pond by comparison.
