I feel your pain. I expect the badly-documented bug-and-vulnerability-ridden unmantainable mess aka systemd to collapse as abandonware in the future. That's what happened with similar projects before. I used systemd last year to see if it was any good, and it's terrible. Specially journald, well it uses a binary format, I see this file, about 250KB, I wanted to decompress it as a text file to use my tools. OK, I had a brand-new very powerful computer. After 1 HOUR, I see a 5GB file, the decompression still running! Another bug, I needed to power off with (unix sysadmins will laugh at this): sync; sync; shutdown -h now otherwise systemd (systemctl poweroff) would randomly delete files in my home dir! So yes systemd is also technically bad. That's why *BSD, GNU Guix and other alternatives are gaining momentum.
