That's because there's always someone who claims that "a properly
configured systemd can accelerate the startup massively which is of
great advantage on notebooks".
What we stated here is simply that BOTH of these claims are false.
So, yes, I agree with you: "the boot time is irrelevant".


The point here is twofold:

1. Is systemd good for LFS?

Think what you want. The choice is there anyway. Problem solved.
When runit for LFS will be "ready" the problem will be even more solved.

2. Should the lack of information on the LFS site about the choice be
   addressed?

This is the point really worth discussing. My suggestion of a link to
boycottsystemd was obviously sarcastic and clearly marked as such.
I think that any suggestion of any depth about what to choose or even
about the differences would be inevitably biased.
If it was up to me, I'd put just a short notice saying something like
"The (B)LFS book comes in two flavours depending on the init style: one
for System V and one for systemd".
