This is my first post here, and it's about systemd. Systemd is actually great, my big hope is that this goes to production and Alpine adopts it, because Systemd (is not an init system) and is actually because of it's monolithic architecture actually better for Linux systems that need a small footprint such as embedded, and such as Alpine wants to be.
Let me explain... The biggest complaints about systemd is:
Easy to rebutt:
I'm sure I missed many, many features. These are the plus sides:
After all talking about systemd doing more and more, in the end, with the right compile options, you can get a single daemon that does just what you want and nothing extra.
And as someone mentioned, more and more stuff will be moving to systemd so the effort needed to circumvent it will be increasingly greater, until it becomes impossible, so the best thing would be just to adopt it and focus all those efforts on the primary original goal the distribution had. Unless that goal was to make a distribution without systemd.
