>>It is a bunch of modular, but strongly integrated, pieces that manage everything about your init and process management.

OH REALLY? well, can I just run systemd-udevd, without systemd? how about journald? No? well than, if everything depends on one massive daemon, it isn't very modular, is it.

The correct answer is actually "Yes, you can.".

Not soon. You can't run journald without systemd now, and you won't be able to run systemd-udevd without systemd as soon as kdbus gets merged, which the systemd devs are pushing for heavily.

Your information is out of date with respect to systemd-udevd, per https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10518933 and others; and your assertion about journald is simply wrong unless something has changed very recently.
