Generally agreed. I know that my priorities for what should be done in systemd are not going to match someone else's but there are also some clearly problematic things that just seem to go unaddressed no matter the scale (e.g. rebooting nspawn containers [1], problems with DNS/resolved [2]).

systemd can do a lot of really useful things but when I can't reliably reboot machines or struggle with resolving things using DNS...it's hard to be optimistic.

The whole systemd for containers thing seems like a massive cause of "because we can". Also allowed them a better pitch towards devops and RHEL than "faster boot"...
