I do not argue that software is good because it is old. I argue that software which is correct does not need to be changed.
But you linked to the "Appeal to novelty" fallacy, suggesting that other people argue that systemd is better just because it is new. Fallacies usually come in pairs, thus my link: changing for change's sake makes no sense; nor does not changing for tradition's sake. Anyway, the fact that SysV is good enough doesn't mean that it cannot -or should not- be changed. Whether systemd is the right answer is yet to be seen, though. The world changes, and the opposite of evolution is stagnation. And I, for one, moved to Arch to see the change happen! Regards -- Rodrigo
