IMHO this is a pretty unconvincing reason to change your init system, especially to one which is both as new as systemd, and as capable of stupidity on a scale never before seen in any init system. A couple of examples here (the wanton renaming of Ethernet interfaces
IIRC most of that one can be laid at the feet of the kernel developers trying to make hardware enumeration more predictable, and systemd is just one of several places the sysadmin can try to clean up the pieces.
My understanding is about 50% "WTF?", but supposedly the change came about because a physical device on a known physical slot location will show up in the PCI hardware enumeration in a semirandom order. The people having most issue with this were people using "many" multiport NICs to build routers, and they were apparently having real problems with logical interfaces semirandomly migrating from card to card to card. When you're actively trying to decide where to fling packets around this is a Big Problem(TM).
