The documentation is available in man pages and I didn't find it lacking so far, to be honest. And the easy transition is there: You can depend on init scripts. (Contrary to upstart where the two worlds are split.) (At least that's how the migration on the Debian side is working. I do not have experiences with RPM-based systems using systemd. And I don't say that there are no problems on Debian with systemd that are due to our drop-in implementation.) > Like most stuff: it's not the technology, it's how it's used. I'm still > skeptical.

Ok, so people did use inittab instead of runit/dæmon-tools… and I thought it was mainly TSM that was being odd. ;-) Critique of the implementation can be very well warranted, but your initial remark seemed like it aims at criticizing the New Way™ instead of the implementation.
