    Shut the fuck up about systemd. You all sound like old, grumpy men that can't adapt to any sort of change.

    Read up on systemd and learn how to use it. If you spent half the amount of time learning systemd as you do complaining on the internet, you might find it's actually really good. It's like SMF, but even more flexible.

    The Solaris people pissed and moaned about SMF, but now its considered a distinguishing feature of the OS, and I doubt any Solaris admin would trade SMF for SysV init.
