Well, they link to suckless for reasons why systemd is bad. So they most likely have no idea what they are talking about as suckless is known for being mostly factually incorrect. For example, suckless claims "pid 1 does DNS" and

Are other claims also not true and just ideas that might or might not be actually be implemented at some time in the future?

Don't want s6 as it brings with it a binary configuration database (Windows registry). systemd at least has text files for config.
