This is a feature that systemd provides. It is the distro's choice to use it. Arch doesn't use this. Arch uses systemd. edit: Look how Arch dev says they won't probably ever use it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145265 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145265, just because systemd gives you an ability to do something people actually want, you can't blame systemd for a distro that uses that feature.
