This should be handled by software on the systems themselves being 
adapted to a single framework, if that type of thing is required.

If you're using things like the BSD family in your infrastructure, then 
you're (obviously) going to be using their init daemons, at least until 
they all update their Linux emulations and then bring in systemd. :-) 
(Honestly, they probably won't do that, but I can easily see them 
creating their own BSD-licensed alternative to systemd, and I think that 
will spur some fascinating competition and discussions.)
