Not trying to speak for Bruce here, but my complaint after seeing that list is that systemd has apparently decided (against my will) to enable all of: 1) cgroups, with the split-cgroup hierarchy, so times nine 2) binfmt_misc 3) securityfs (...bwuh?) 4) mqueue, whatever that is 5) debugfs (since I'm a kernel developer...) 6) hugetlbfs (THP is in the kernel for a reason; this interface sucks) 7) rpc_pipefs (useful for NFS, useless without AFAIK) And that's assuming that /media is something that was asked for; if not, that's another entry on here (and one that, depending on the setup, could break my system entirely; I have a whole lot of subdirectories of /media holding a lot of different bits of data that won't fit on the rootfs; nothing in /media directly though, so it'd depend on when everything got mounted). That's just a *tiny* bit excessive I think. Now maybe this can all be disabled, but it seems that for something as core to the system as init, it'd be better to disable esoteric bits of it by default, not enable them by default.
