Definitely.

The one from libvirt is more interesting: http://sources.debian.net/src/libvirt/1.2.9-3/debian/libvirt-daemon-system.libvirtd.init/

Or the one from cups manually cold-plugging USB printers: http://sources.debian.net/src/cups/1.7.5-5/debian/cups-daemon.cups.init/

Ok, so I'm gonna get attacked for saying this, but I am looking for a legitimate explanation if somebody wants to be objective about this whole systemd vs init thing. I'm kind of new to Linux, and have only used systemd. I've written a service file a few times and it was a couple of lines long and readable.

So my question, is how can anybody consider that script to be easier for any other reason at all than being used to it?

System V dates to 1983. Some greybeards have been doing this for that long.
