It strikes me that since this subject came up, not one single person has 
spoken in favor of systemd, or at least of what it seems to want to 
become.  It isn't wise to go down a road unless you know where it leads, 
but if you do know where it leads, and you don't want to go there, then 
don't start down that road.

What do the Grey Eminences have to say to this?  Who decided that 
systemd was the way to go? Why did they?  What are the merits of an init 
system that wants to control everything one day?  Do they know that 
there is a groundswell of opposition, and on very sober grounds?
