I bet he could do it in a week and it would be better than systemd in
at least one regard: actually booting no matter what.

Maybe the next time systemd developers break things again, which is
just a matter of time.

In the meantime you want to take a look at my little init script that
implements the basics of what an init system should do[1]. You would
probably need to hack it to your needs, but since it's 230 lines of
*readable* code, that shouldn't be a problem. I also wrote a blog post
explaining the process that lad me to that code[2].

Cheers.
