I've been "aware" of systemd for a long time (and the holy wars around it) but 
to date have always used sysV init on embedded devices so this is first project 
with systemd so I have a bit of a learning curve.  I wish I had it on other 
projects though as it is better at solving race conditions that happen ... like 
when you need to boot and mount and run from a USB NAND flash.  Can't fsck or 
mount until it enumerates and that isn't always deterministic and udev rules 
and triggers were a moving target.

Later,

Brian
