That's a fallacy. Webkit is open source, doesn't mean it is not completely opaque to the majority of developers. I'm not concerned about the legal free/open source status here, but about how well a casual user can grasp and change things (that is someone who has to start, stop, maybe install services, and isn't a systemd developer).
I'm not bothered that the name of the tool is now `systemctl` of course. My problem is that is does way to many things. Want to list services? It shows you hundreds of pseudo-service-objects. They can get activated at any time by mysterious means. If you need this, it's great that it is available, but for me, the old ways (as many failings that they had) were good enough.
