Bryan,
Yeah this is an interesting space for sure. In a lot of ways systemd
does do things a lot better, it is a much cleaner startup and shutdown
process and getting rid of init scripts, well good riddance I say,
there was very little standardization there.

On the other hand, I have struggled with some of the things like the
journal and the size of systemd in general. The author Lennart comes
off like a real ass in e-mail, which doesn't help much, though in
person he is a decent fellow.

It is a mixed bag, and we fear change, but I have to say in my own
estimation just from a cleanliness perspective I am much happier with
it, it also helps to clean up some SELinux issues which makes me happy.
