systemd compatibility layer

Many projects, and especially smaller community one, are created with systemd in mind, which is a deal breaker for many people who use them and who want to get away from systemd.

Are there plans to create a compatibility layer for other init systems so that projects created for systemd can work with them, without having to patch and repackage them?

Re: systemd compatibility layer

When you say are created with systemd in mind, can you give some examples?

Sure. GNOME is the largest, Ambxst installer is the smallest that I know of.
