Systemd still has too much power. An init system should not have the ability to do this.

@ozzelot if you believe this went into an init system, i strongly suggest you refresh your familiarity with what systemd is

From the point of view of many lowly users, myself included, systemd is that weird thing that replaced our old init systems in mainstream distros :)

@ozzelot in broader sense, systemd is a collection of core libraries & daemons. close enough to a classic unix/bsd tree with some bits missing.

service management is only one of the components. adds a handful of really clever tricks, alone more elegant and powerful than the old system.

calling it "init" is sounds somewhat inappropriate to me nowadays that the system is dynamic to the point everything in the system down to the hardware devices can come and go -- initialization not really separate from system run.

@ozzelot i must say, that through the magic of adhd i unfortunately read through the sources of init systems from v4 through pwb, sysv and bsd. i'm happy to bore you to death with useless trivia over a beer.

@lkundrak If I still consumed beer, and general socialization, I would perhaps take you up.
