Hi,

As far as I can tell one of the main drivers for the Systemd changes are for things like mobile devices where networks change often and containers (Docker etc).

Ugh.  That tells me everything I need to know...


And what I *cannot* understand is how distro Release Configuration Managers
were inveigled to drink the Flavor-Aid.  It makes laptops boot a tiny bit
faster (my x61 with an SSD boots without it in 12 seconds flat) at the
expense of breaking the reflexes of the SAs of hundreds of millions of
servers worldwide.  Without their permission.
Because it’s ‘new’ and ‘advanced’, which means that it must be ‘better’?

I’m not surprised when such things appear in Ubuntu, where ‘fixing’ things that 
aren’t broken has become one of the defining characteristics of the distro.  
However, I admit that I was jarred when it showed up in RHEL 7.  Seriously, how 
many laptops does that get run on, relative to the number of ‘big iron’ servers?


Worst: you can't go back; packagers don't *include* sysVinit scripts
anymore, by and large.
Well, *I* do.  Rivendell is just a flea on the back of the Linux elephant 
though.  :)

Cheers!
