OK, thank you. I'm clear about what you said now, and I couldn't agree more.

This was my first experience with systemd too. I never used it again. I
know maybe it's improved. I don't have time to be a BETA or ALPHA

I find it very interesting that this occurs so frequently and it's a
total show stopper - this non-deterministic behaviour.
