Thank you for a measured reply Anthony.  I take your points.  I have also 
watched LP's FOSDEM systemd presentation on Youtube (understanding about 80% of
it), and read most of the links provided by other posters (especially the
internal debate between Red Hat devs).  I understand that there are advantages,
but I am left with the lingering impression that systemd is part of a larger
project, - as discussed by Fons Adriaensen in this thread.  It bothers me.
