Seriously, who reads source codes? Manpages usually only explain the parameters, not the design of the software and how it works. There may be some other documentations, I haven't yet seen any.
Overview of the bootprocess under systemd: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/bootup.html Some info about old- and new-style daemons: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/daemon.html Some general info about the systemd daemon: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.html Lots and lots of man-pages documenting every little part of systemd: http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/ More info about systemd, including links to Lennart's blogs, which explain things in a more understandable way than the man-pages: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/
Now I know that you can explain things. So why not do it if you find that someone doesn't know enough about what's talked about? Nobody expects that you write a second documentation, but explaining some details can sometimes help.
Sure, whenever people ask something I try my best to explain what I can. My comment was aimed at those who pretend to know without doing their research. -t
