My experience with it (Arch) is that it works. Truely, it just works. BUT, the machines run slower, and the list of running processes is too big to manage - but hey, that's the service scheduler's (systemd's) job. I think it's a pity that the industry is moving to 'Red Hat is always right', just as in the 80's we saw 'Microsoft is always right' (Windows for Workgroups and even NT, were quite good....). So my objections are a mix of (1) I'll decide what proportion of my computer power is used for what, and (2) we don't need another Microsoft, or Apple (, or if you are my age, SCO and IBM). It needs to be in LFS and BLFS, but then the books also need to support those who don't want it, and want a simpler architecture. If you don't then there is a danger of another fork (says he who withdrew his labor 7 years ago....)
