"Systemd is tying into everything from initial boot to how to configure your soundcard." are you confusing the project "systemd" (they should have called it something else) with the systemd daemon?
depends what your servers are doing, ours were bank branch controllers that dealt with all comms etc between the branch and head office mainframes and they took 20 minutes to get up to full operation and thats a long time when you have a branch full of customers wanting to withdraw or deposit money
"possible downgrade for systems administrators who manage servers." - no, its one of its aims to help admins by standardizing and speeding start up across all linux flavors that use systemd, just a learning curve for the admins
"And then there's the mind numbingly stupid things like binary journal files. Which get regularly corrupted" - not on my machine, is your disk dying and corrupting sectors? there was a poster on phoronix bleating to high heaven about corrupt journals and he was pointed to checking his disk. He discovered it was failing and once he sorted that out, his journals were fine
"but the group implementing it have a horrible architecture and do no understand that problems they are attempting to solve" - you've been reading too many troll posts and believing them
so what should we do? Shut all fossil fuel power stations until they reach close to 100% efficiency or use what we got so far and keep improving it?
the panels are "good enough" to get installing, the only thing lacking is home power storage. Sure, in X years time the panels will get more efficient to the point where you'll need less of them on the roof and possibly may also work to some degree on lower levels of light.
You have to get the market going to encourage more companies to join in and get more people interested in developing and improving the technology. Its a bit of the chicken and egg scenario with new technology, look how long its taken for the motor vehicle industry to get semi-efficient
no. imagine the push back from the fossil fuel industries, you'd have a war. i think its better for every building to have solar (where possible) with battery storage just to get around one single point of failure that is the power generating company (either the management or actual generator failure). this single point of failure wipes out whole areas.

whats the "carrot" and whats the "stick"? this author must have real power to force virtually every distro to adopt it
"kids" describes you well. don't you mean Slackware and Gentoo?

its more than a speed up of boot, thats just one of its features

he's right though, most of the anti-systemd posters mention pulse....

well, step up to the plate and develop a new shrunken init that every troll would love.

all those are optional, not mandatory. and for the rest of your comment, more verbal diarrhea
"your high load servers keep corrupting the journald " corrupting a daemon?
Surely main stream-ish tabbed browsing was down to Opera (who was pre-empted by some other browser which was not Mozilla)
isn't using a computer a bit un-hippy-ish? :)
thats down to religion which hopefully it will become a minority delusion during the next 100 years
yea, but who modded "insightful" when it was quite obviously wrong ?
as long as you don't piss or sweat out too much salt otherwise you will no longer be very well
if its a proven lie, provide us with the citation that "proves it" so we can all be educated.

isn't that just capitalism and market forces working if there are other entrants into the power generation market?
