Something like systemd might be useful. There are some aspects of systemd that make sense and are useful.
There's other stuff like eliminating boot interactivity, so you can't hit ctrl-c or any other keys to cancel waiting for dhcp on network ports that aren't plugged in, that really bother me.
I also don't think a FreeBSD init/system supervision system would go and re-implement dns, ntp, and whatever else, including redoing security mistakes from decades ago.
