Taking systemd for granted, sheesh...
have you actually used systemd before? it's quite good.
Name one problem you personally have encountered deploying systemd in production.
What is the problem with systemd?
No systemd. Some folks will appreciate that.
It's not implemented as part of systemd...
Because systemd does many things badly instead of one thing well :)
Systemd isn't just one thing lol
Ridiculous. This is obviously a job for systemd.
Because systemd tries to hijack as much functionality it can.
