Eh? systemd unit files are tiny compared to the huge massive scripts that came before it. Often those scripts we're only understood by a few people as well.

I think this why a lot of people really hate systemd. Suddenly a bunch of arcane knowledge used to maintain specific scripts got made redundant.

I have a thousand gripes about systemd, but “it made my knowledge obsolete” doesn’t make that list.

Also, I have only seen two or so massive scripts about services. Most of them were slight variations of a standard boilerplate code.
