: No systemd discussion?

So systemd is causing a lot of grief and panic among seasoned users of
slackware bare metal init systems, and system V init users. And there is no
discussion on this on tolug? Okay, I tossed the hot potato into the ring.
Feelings about systemd and the required adaptation (and, no doubt, teething
troubles)? I am an older guy who cut his Linux teeth in ~1995 with Slackware
installed from many floppies and later cds, so I know where I am standing.
Was it worth the extra trouble to make a daemon do what scripts did fine for
40 years?
