I've been reading up on systemd today and whole state of affairs with that fiasco. It's really quite amazing. Everyone that has worked with it seems to rave over the usability of RUnit and subsequently isn't too happy about systemd. Nevertheless systemd have become a juggernaut that seemingly can't be stopped. There are very good things about systemd of course, mainly it is fast, but also it has a lot of tentacles into other systems. This can be good in that it makes it very feature rich, but also bad, as it is not very "Unix Way" --it has many dependencies and a much more complex code base. We might have been able to get away with ignoring systemd, but with it's merger with udev, which you allude to, looks like the writing is on the wall. -trans
