This reeks of the same kind of argument that was used to push for microkernels. Arbitrarily cutting up processes into smaller parts is not the same as decoupled design.
- d0 13y agoIt's not arbitrary. There are logical security, reliability and convention boundaries that systemd doesn't consider which are raised in this article. Microkernels are a different subject altogether. To be honest, the only service management solution I've seen that I actually like for Unix platforms is BSD's simple rc and daemontools on top of it for process management.
- makomk 13y agoI don't think that's the point of the argument - after all, systemd is already arbitrarily cut up into smaller processes, it's just that they're all tightly coupled and nonfunctional on their own.
