gollark: I'd prefer something which makes the config for each service into just one file, and has something nice like `systemctl status` to see the running status and last few output lines of a service.
gollark: Also simpler, since you would avoid having to have weird interfaces between the `runsvdir` and `runsv`s.
gollark: I feel like it would be more efficient to move that into one process which can then do dependency management and stuff.
gollark: `runsvdir` has one `runsv` process *per service*? Huh.
gollark: You could avoid having to maintain some kind of weird local-specific API for them, conveniently manage stuff on remote systems if you wanted to for whatever reason, and... okay that's about it.
