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.
