I'd like to say me too as the shortest opinion. Dealing with local networks it is absolutely not important how much time the boot takes. Most machines works all the time. During maintenance reboots I can wait a few seconds more. But the complete lack of simplicity and transparency is horrible.

What I find most frustrating of all is that there are LOTS of valid concerns for the use of systemd but that it is coming out at the point of implementation. I am sure I am a bit out of the loop with with daily tasks etc but this kinda seems like it came out of nowhere destined for integration
