Hi guys,

the article at [1] discusses pros and cons of systemd and raises some
interesting points, IMHO. The most important one is that by assimilating
all kinds of standard Unix services like cron, ntpd, and syslogd into a
monolithic program, systemd prevents innovation because it's nearly
impossible to replace any one of those services with an alternative one.
If you have systemd installed, then half of your Unix ecosystem is
locked into one particular implementation of services that used to be
diverse, modular, and replaceable.

Anyway, I thought the article is an interesting read. 

Best regards,
Peter
