One argument I hear often about systemd is that it more adapted to current
hardware needs, [e.g. here][1]

What I don't understand is how an init system manages hot pluggable
devices.
What does replacing a hot plugable disk drive it have to do with how the
system is booted?
Maybe this all done at the none init parts of systemd?

### I know this is a hot topic for some people. It is not meant to ignite a
war, rather to understand.

Please explain it to me with out flames.
