[yocto] is there a rationale for YP using sysvinit as default init manager?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  don't get me wrong, i have no problem with that, but a colleague
asked me what the reason was for using sysvinit as the *default*. i
hemmed and hawed and suggested it was for simplicity and reliability,
and that a lot of embedded systems didn't need the flashy features of
systemd, and so on.

  is there any short answer to give to that question?
