I'd name a lot advantages, but you'll, as always, say something else that you might find better, but not everyone.

Systemd is not portable, it won't run on Non-Linux (and please no Unix philosophy and software portability stuff, maintainer has every right to write his software for whatever platform he wants). Debian has kFreeBSD variant and they can't make systemd default since it doesn't run there. They would need to maintain seperate sysvinit bootscripts for kFreeBSD and systemd units for Linux variant. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
