In all of the discussion about systemd, all anyone should care about is:
(1) Does systemd provide *needed* additional capabilities that are not currently available;
(2) What are they?
(3) What are the disadvantages of the switch?
(4) Do the advantages significantly outweigh the disadvantages, taking into consideration the time, talent and energy required to implement the change (for both the developers and end-users)?
1-3 have already been discussed, and number 4 has an obvious answer for the only person that matters, the one doing the work. I'm not sure why the time, talent, and energy of the end-user is even a factor. If it was we wouldn't be using any new software at all...
