Hi, I'm a sysadmin who's fed up with neckbeards (most of who apparently don't know much and refuse to learn) claiming to speak for all sysadmins on this topic.

It's four years old, and claiming "large risk and little reward" is like listening to someone claim that moving from sendmail to postfix would be a disaster.

The only sysadmin I know with an actual neckbeard (over a foot long) is a 20-year unix/linux admin, and he greatly favours systemd.

Perhaps if you're tired of neckbeards speaking for all sysadmins, you should return the favour and not declare what all neckbeards are saying. A lot of old, experienced admins are for systemd. It's not the young go-getters who are at the top level of distros making the foundational architectural decisions, after all.
