I don't want mean the "d" from crond, sshd et all.
Indeed, i knew you didn't mean that. Unfortunately, in my
experience - and i say this as someone who actively avoids systemd
for my own use-cases, and has made significant efforts to support
alternatives - there are a number of people who assume that
anything ending in 'd' (or 'ctl') must be directly related to
systemd. (Just as there are a number of people who assume that
D-Bus is part of systemd, even though it predates systemd by years
and can be used totally independently of it.) So i was basically
trying to convey "One can't necessarily assume that use of 'd' at
the end of things, including increasing use of '.d', must somehow
be a result of systemd." i'm sorry for not being clearer.
