So the idea is to tie everything so hard into systemd that alternatives will just be impossible because of undocumented, unportable APIs that are leaky abstractions that make no sense without the thing they fail to abstract? And why on earth does every daemon now need to be patched? They worked well for the last few decades without such specific hackery.
very good text by Gentoo developer Patrick Lauer about systemd.
