Hmm inclusion/switch to systemd on something that purports to be a 'secure' OS for private browsing seems counter-intuitive.

  - the tails project lacks the manpower take a different path than its debian mothership - the devs don't seem to be bothered by increasing their attack surface with systemd - systemd makes life easier when building a distribution, so the tails-devs like it (not only because they are lacking manpower) - sure you got to be a bit paranoid when working on this kind of project, but tails doesn't seem to be a very welcoming environment for contributors follow tails irc / the mailinglist for a while to get your own picture and have a look at Whonix/Qubes for more security focused alternatives

    >systemd makes life easier when building a distribution Can you elaborate on this? I found that it mattered more what live-cd system an upstream distro used (e.g. dracut vs Debian's older tools)

      It think its about how much systemd comes with. Init, session tracking, DNS client, DHCP client, etc etc etc.
