man 7 hier is much older than linux itself. The 1994 start date in the article is not doing the history of the tradition justice.

It would have been weirder if the creepy "init system" (with its 58 executables and counting, 52 + 6 arg0 links) dictating the future of that tradition didn't raise some eye brows.
