So yeah, I guess that's been the game plan all along: make booting and daemon control more consistent, faster, and easier for most users to maintain.

I don't understand your point.... What is so wrong with the booting using sysvinit? I really don't need what systemd offers and sysvinit does everything I need and has not failed me.

As for systemd being better solution for the problem of booting the beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I just don't see it, so why take away sysvint? You can use systemd and I should be able to use what works for me and not be forced down the systemd path. Isn't this what open source software freedom is all about or did I miss something....I have use linux from the redhat 5.2 (no I am not talking the enterprise version) days.
