But you linked to the "Appeal to novelty" fallacy, suggesting that other
people argue that systemd is better just because it is new. Fallacies
usually come in pairs, thus my link: changing for change's sake makes no
sense; nor does not changing for tradition's sake.

Anyway, the fact that SysV is good enough doesn't mean that it cannot -or
should not- be changed. Whether systemd is the right answer is yet to be
seen, though.

The world changes, and the opposite of evolution is stagnation. And I, for
one, moved to Arch to see the change happen!
