> uselessd (the useless daemon, or the daemon that uses less... depending on your viewpoint) is a project which aims to reduce systemd to a base initd, process supervisor and transactional dependency system, while minimizing intrusiveness and isolationism. Basically, it’s systemd with the superfluous stuff cut out, a (relatively) coherent idea of what it wants to be, support for non-glibc platforms and an approach that aims to minimize complicated design.
The page has a very quirky feel. I kind of like it, wish these guys luck. This might be useful for people who use systems like OpenWrt and Alpine, but want systemd any way.
OpenWRT is an interesting setup, and right now uses BusyBox init. Switching init systems would probably not work out well in terms of firmware size and/or build system complexity.
But OpenWRT also has its own system bus daemon and network configuration daemon, amongst other things. Besides BusyBox, the whole system is quite unique amongst Linux distributions.
