Thank you, but I can help myself if I want to pursue this, when I have
the time to pursue this. The point was to check how far it was in the
integration. No more, no less.

Are you on a provoking rampage? Because my goal was to simply give you
some feedback for this topic you brought up. If that can even be a
goal. Looking at Tom's reply was much more worthwhile. You probably
thought I was trying to undermine the validity of your points running
across this topic - which was not the case at all.

Sorry, but I think I know KISS when I see KISS.

No. I tried it for all its hype, to _inspect_ what "systemd"
comprises, to get the general idea. No more, no less.

Of course, they don't. Either way I would have nothing to gain or
lose. It is just a personal opinion.

Right. Anyway, you might want to realise that nobody who "matters" has
had - up to this point - anything to say about "switching to systemd".
Mostly because none of them have the time (so there is still hope).
You can always file an FR in the tracker if you want to gain some
progress for your enthusiasm, or even get an ultimatum.
