First of all, thanks for linking to uselessd.

The writeup was quite nice. I was actually in the process of writing my own notes to respond to Poettering's "The Biggest Myths", but your approach is better. I'll definitely use it as a reference to link to in discussions.

That said, I have a little caveat for #9. Though systemd violating KISS is virtually undeniable, you should reword it so as to point it out on systemd's own merits, not in relation to sysvinit, which systemd explicitly intends to be more complex than.

No problem :) I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

My reason for including this fallacy was that I've seen it argued by well-meaning people on multiple occasions. I take you point, though, and will clarify this.
