I'm an end user who normally only reads this list. I'd like to add my
perspective to this question though, for what it's worth. I'm on Debian
testing, which is using systemd now. The only obvious difference to me
is my laptop boots faster, which is nice, but ...
1) Binary logs? No. Even I've used text logs for troubleshooting.
They're incredibly useful and wonderfully transparent. Why would anyone
want to move away from that? Except if less transparency was actually
the point for them.
2) Total dependency of everything on this one process to run? No. Single
points of failure are always stupid. Unless somebody is looking for more
control.
3) It sounds like the the big or original push behind this is RedHat
wants to cloudify everything. Nothing wrong with cloudiness in
principle. I even have a little internet accessible server. Very
convenient. But when a corp wants to put you on a cloud it's always
called Hotel California. Do. Not. Go. There.
