This part is true, and the fact that the system comes up *lightning
fast* is a bonus. I'm not satisfied with the documentation, however,
as it seems to be scattered across several man pages, the Arch wiki
only covers some of it, and as to upstream documentation, if there is
any, I couldn't find it.

The only other nitpick I have is that some packages refuse to log to
stdout/stderr, which means that old syslog-ng (it isn't new anymore)
continues to be necessary.

What I think is unfortunate about the discussion of systemd here has
been that it has been conflated with the discussion of pulseaudio. I
think it is possible to like one and not the other.
