  Uh, it is way too late for such changes.  Maybe if you brought this
five years ago… Right now it would only bring pointless differentation
between older and newer distributions.  We just started
unification of all differences in distributions.

  Binaries prefixed with systemd- are either not to be started manually
(systemd-journald, networkd etc) or not stable/mature enough to be widely
used – like cgtop, cgls.  The latter kind can be renamed if it
matured enough - that what happened with systemd-journalctl → journalctl.

  As for /usr/libexec/systemd/systemd … well, maybe it should be called
systemd-initd from the start.  Now it's too late.
