This whole argument is a bullshit argument. I have, somewhat grudgungly I'd admit -- slowly come around to the idea that systemd might be worth the trouble. That said, there is room for more than one working configuration pattern, especially provided those patterns provide non-redundant featuresets to their respective configurations.

The last point of bitterness for me with this entire issue is the entirely uneccesary contention and strife with continuing to include sysV init. It's loved by many and used by many, just leave it alone and let the users patch it.
