> Same source http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-biggest-myths.html http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-biggest-myths.html lists it as most common myth number 2. Indeed it does. As said before, Poettering opens his introductory blog post "Rethinking PID 1" with a bit of history, and then immediately writes "As mentioned, the central responsibility of an init system is to bring up userspace. And a good init system does that fast. Unfortunately, the traditional SysV init system was not particularly fast." That's the very first thing he writes about systemd. And the speed of booting comes up again and again in the blog post. Then how can it not have been one if his major considerations? So he's contradicting himself, or he changed his mind in the three years between those blog posts. > It would also make discussions much clearer if people said in the beginning what exactly they are complaining about, e.g. "logind is buggy" instead of "systemd is evil". That's what one gets if one puts everything under the same name, throw everything in one tarball.
