> I’m not sure how often it’s posted here but Benno Rice formerly of FreeBSD Core Team has an excellent and amusing discussion of systemd’s technical merits.

IMO he makes a couple good points (and a couple poor ones), but it’s about everything except technical merits. It’s more about social and philosophical aspects.

He talks about a lot of design decisions like the units architecture and users being able to deploy their own services, but does keep it fairly high-level.
