I will likely put time into this when possible, but that's not very soon; I
have another Arch related project with btrfs that I've delayed too long.  As
for being better... I think the links provided to Lennart's blog explain
that fairly well.  200 line bash scripts become 15 line service files.

I was hoping to hear from someone currently using/trying the systemd related
AUR packages, because some of the posts in the forum are very positive, and
allude to good Arch specific support/experiences.

... so, anyone out there to support or refute this observation (with actual
experience ...)
