Some teams have been working on better replacement for SysV init, but
without the industrial strength of Red Hat they could only stay niche.

Jonathan de Boyne Pollard, creator of the Nosh system[a], has written an
article about "known problems with System 5 rc":

i've used runit and s6+66 on Void Linux, and on Gentoo am currently
using OpenRC+s6 (the latter for providing user services, which are are

on GitHub:
