I am curious, can there be any criticism of systemd? Since everything is dismissed as an emotional response or haters or greybeards. This kind of defensive response seeks to shift everything from the technical to the political and leaves no room for genuine criticism, improvement and diversity. Linux was a success way before systemd, you just can't disrespect all the talented people who have got Linux where it as greybeards or motivated. You say systemd has advanced Linux but don't say how, you say init scripts were a mess but so are systemd symlinks littered all over the place. This is not reasonable.
