systemd is targeted at cloud systems and fast booting which is where I guess redhats focus is these days since they seem to have lost the desktop space. The fact that systemd isn't potentially as reliable etc. is irrelevant when you are looking at a more disposable cloud model where fast start and short life predominate. The problem is that systemd is being forced into areas where people don't want it (inc. me). BillK
