Alternatively we will all be running systemd one day whether we want to or not :( I suspect that this has been the game plan all the time though. OK, flames away I guess :) Wow, this sounds so much like a conspiracy theory. The fact is that the people who write the code inevitably dictate which software is maintained, based on their interests and convictions, and they're pretty much unanimous that systemd is a better solution to the problem of booting and maintaining daemons than the solution we currently have.
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. So is your point that I need to move to systemd because the developers tell me I must? 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.
