This is the core problem with systemd, in my mind -- and what has gotten Linus, amongst other people, so thoroughly cheesed off with the systemd devs. They don't play well with other children. They don't appear particularly interested in reusing any existing code, because it's a lot more fun to write new code. I'm a strong proponent of Joel Spolsky's views on rewrites (sorry, no URL, I'm on the train) and I don't doubt that all the same problems will come to haunt systemd on its way from being the new kid on the block to being legacy code[1].
