The facts with systemd is this. RedHat's business model is to sell
support for their OS. Only problem is that Linux is pretty stable on
it's own. No problems means no support money. That's why they must
replace a perfectly good init system that's worked perfectly for
multiple decades with something that's got over 1000 bugs in the
tracker alone and handles thing like dns resolution. This isn't even
about features. If it was they'd be using something like OpenRC which
does pretty much all the same process management systemd does without
all the RCEs and scope creep.
