--- Comment #2 from Sandeep Srinivasa <sss at lambdacurry.com> ---
@lennart - really appreciate the comment. I do understand that you might not do
it - but please allow me to explain why it would be a great idea.

There is only a single reason - we are already using way too many process
control managers. There are hundreds of millions of servers worldwide that will
not be upgraded any time soon (years atleast) and that means a long time before
anyone will be able to touch systemd professionally.

Docker is only making things even worse - the recommended way of using Docker
is shifting gradually to be using poorly-suited PID 1 processes like
supervisord. 

I'm not sure how difficult it is technically, but I urge you to reconsider
atleast the possibility - even if you can make something on par with
supervisord and has none of the advanced resource management features that
systemd has.

P.S. Already, a lot of us work with upgraded kernels because of Docker and this
is already acceptable.
