   Have you tried building rpm and deb packages?

   Your choice...

   We have distributions with both. And even more: some experienced admin may   
   switch from one to other and back again.

   The old good CentOS 6 will reach EOL this year... and we expect some users   
   moving to us :-)   
      
    TL> That said, I quite like SysV init. It's straightforward and orderly.   
    TL> Most of my systems still use it.   
      
   Same thing here. The only advantage of systemd is the startup dependencies   
   concept, but that's really easy to implement with SysVinit - just declare   
   "status" command as mandatory.   
      
   E.g. `service nginx start` may check whether `service network status` is   
   "running".
