Simple (2) identical system except for systemd only on one. Run a wide variety of tests, publish the data.

Besides, there is another thing you are not considering. The world of embedded linux >> user linux. So, the embedded designers are all wonderfully in line with systemd? Have you been to any of those forums? They live by cgroups, because a few folks showed them how to minimize embedded systems with age old state diagrams. Have you offered them the systemd or highway plan yet? It's not me, Rich, it lots of other technically astute folks that are not happy. I just want choice. I hope systemd is wildly successful, but I'm old school, so you and others are going to have to "show me". James
