I'm not advocating for using regex / sed / awk as part of init systems.

There are places for those.  I think that an init system is the 
antithesis of it.

IMHO an init system; whatever it's name is, and most of a Unix / VMS 
system should be as boring as the day is long.  Boring has low technical 
debt, easy to teach, easy to maintain, easy to change.
