The problem is not systemd.  Systemd is a symptom of the problem.  The
problem is change for change's sake.  Let's rewrite this thing and make

There's some argument for a service manager.  But a service manager should
not replace everything with one big monolithic chunk.  I am not a fan of
service managers and I didn't like when Solaris implemented it, but I can
see some arguments in favor.
