Wow, seems like systemd is a quite a mess.

After an initial look at the codebase, it seems like since its a forever running process, everything was crammed into it from Laptop battery backlight brightness to absurd stuff like certificate validation?

Maybe I'm missing something but something odd about having so much unrelated functionality crammed into a single tool.

Need to look at breaking it into smaller tools that adhere to the Unix tools philosophy.

Why can't systemd critics never go past the #belief that things has to adhere to their special rule instead of embracing the #diversity of tools available in the open-source community.

This is very similar to fights over programming paradigm, which often are just distracting dev from real project issue.
