FTFA:
"Lennart Poettering sees process persistence as a security issue."
But then, so is/are:
* plugging in an ethernet cable.
* allowing users to login
* add a user account
* a running process
* elevated privileges
* buffer overflows
.... this list goes on and on.
"because security" is just a broad brush for painting thick layer of
B.S. A software exploit for a logged in user is just as dangerous as a
running process after logout and I fail to see the point of what seems

Systemd isn't going to stop until it resemebles nothing like a classic
*nix system. Perhaps that's the point.
