I find the title here a little misleading, as the Gnu announcement itself doesn’t mention systemd in its title or even in the body of the announcement. I also believe that comparing gnu shepherd and systemd is potentially confusing, because systemd refers to a whole set of programs covering various aspects of networking, logging, etc. and not just to the pid 1 daemon launched on startup. (By the way, I have no strong opinion for or against systemd, to me it’s just another tool, and like any tool it’s more appropriate in some use cases than in others.)
