Infinite Mac OS X
I think this is one of the things that makes systemd popular. A consequence of it being such a baseline of cross-cutting functionality is it necessarily goes against the classic unix philosophy.

launchd, which inspired systemd, was an artifact of Mac OS X in this era. But yes, the post is probably just in the wrong thread.

I think upstart inspired systemd :) And cgroups support in the linux kernel. Does osx have a comparable thing to cgroups?

systemd is allowed to have multiple inspirations. launchd 1.0 was a noted inspiration for systemd.
