On point 1, I though Unix philosophy was do one thing and do it well ? So we agree is not unixy on purpose.
The point 2 is moot. I get one SystemD package from my distribution anyways. The "SystemD project" renders my system hard to debug. To the point of having fchmoat syscall working and chmod syscall not working and having no f*g clue why. And nobody can help on IRC because nobody, even the most experienced, understand what is going on. It just is not acceptable !
Point 3 is a recurring argument. Stating that SystemD simply coalesce base system binaries is misleading. It goes way beyond that. Does setting a BPF filter in a SystemD unit result in line stating so in the log ? I bet not. How the hell do I know then ? Seriously, for real, how do you debug those kind of systems ?!
I'm very sorry to say, the last 3~4 year, the 4 most hard to debug issues I've had all have their source in "SystemD, the project".
I have not doubt the SystemD project has good intention. I also have not doubt they do not caring one bit about what cognitive load and work load they _impose_ on others.
The road to hell is also paved with good intentions.
