No, I made a statement about the systems where _I_ care about boot
time. The embedded systems where I care about boot time are two
industrial product lines where which I'm reponsible for the embedded
Linux OS. Boot time matters for those products. Those products don't
have a few extra MB to run systemd.

I don't care about boot times for routers, NAS devices, ipcams, etc.
The embedded systems where I care about boot time do _not_ have a few
extra MB to run systemd.
