I did package, for suse, yes. and I agree the declarative unit files are simpler to maintain. the dependency comments were standardized, and the parser would give errors for incorrect comments. and of course for the RC scripts, great powers came with great responsibility --- for the package maintainer. I recently had to deal with the limited feature set of journald logrotation, compared to logrotate and syslogd. without going into the details, just compare the man pages, if you hit the limits of the available declarative feature set, you find yourself patching or doing fancy work arounds. if the features that come with systems are sufficient, it's a happy switch. if some corner case is missing, good luck. ps: I did not downvote. I don't do that for a healthy and interesting debate. that's not what we do on here, no?
