things were broken way before that. As much as I hate systemd, it is not the root cause of the problem. The problems were caused by people saying that seperate /usr was a good idea, so / would not fill up and similar idiocies. The problems were caused by people saying that lvm is a good idea - for desktops. Those people who are fighting against the kernel auto assembling raids are to blame too. Systemd is just another point in a very long list.
