I don't get the "Unix Philosophy" thing.
Posts about "this functionality is broken on systemd but not OpenRC" are great, but "Unix Philosophy"? What did that get us? A bunch of failing vendors in the 1990s, and the inevitability of Windows NT.
The "philosophers" of Unix let themselves be rounded up and made irrelevant.
If you want to build a better init system, build a better init system. But philosophy-based OS advocacy is a failure. Designing working software based on philosophy is like writing real network software based on the OSI 7-layer burrito model.

Yeah, I know, I should have used 'awk' for this. Sue me. It's been too long since I did awk state machines. There's a reason there's a "git grep" but not a "git awk" command.

I guess after spending some time with the kernel, one can't really differentiate hacks from proper design anymore.
