Many issues with systemd seem not to be with systemd-as-init-replacement, but rather with with systemd-as-kitchen-sink. It's the tight coupling that annoys many people.

Does udevd really need to be in the same repo? While there may be some nice things about journald, does it really have to be in the same source package? (And why can't it support remote logging with the industry standard syslog protocol? Now I have to run journald and rsyslog. And why doesn't it have an ACID file format that doesn't self-corrupt at times? Why couldn't they just use SQLite or OpenLDAP's LMDB?)

The udev move was what convinced me the whole effort was bad faith. I have yet to be disabused of this notion.
