I'm a happy sysvinit+sysvrc, upstart, sysvinit+openrc, and systemd user.

As far as an init system brings up the OS, starts the daemons that I
want, and allows me to troubleshoot failures, I couldn't care less
what init system's controlling boot.

I therefore find anti-systemd posts like this one puzzling, and even
surreal, since the people making them are theoretically technical, and
therefore logical.

Lennart made some design choices that I wish that he hadn't made but
I'm not losing any sleep over this; and I don't understand why anyone
else should.
