[kwlug-disc] What is all this about systemd?

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

That sums it up:

"Disclaimer: We are not sysvinit purists by any means. We do recognize the
need for a new init system in the 21st century, but systemd is not it."

As I said before, no one is objecting to faster booting and better syntax,
with dependency startup. But systemd crams up way more than any sane daemon
should do, and creates a long dependency chain, hence the objections.
