Surely one of the biggest problems (or at least, one of the things people
complain most about) regarding systemd is that it is no longer just an init
system.

It may have been sold that way in the early days, but it's now infiltrated so
many parts of the GNU / Linux system that just telling people (or showing
them) that they can use something else to manage their daemons is no longer
enough.
