The only thing I see them sacrificing is loose coupling, they provide more functionality than any other init system, more correctness (seriously, did you ever read most init scripts out there?), more well defined behavior (all systemd systems boot exactly the same), more stability (I'll claim that Lennart's C is better than any of the boot-time shell scripts I've seen) and well understandability depends who much you can understand C. Probably a bit less understandable for sysadmins, but since they can just play with config files, it's probably easier to understand in the end (and much less prone to breaking than mucking around shell scripts). -- Olivier Crête tes...@gentoo.org Gentoo Developer
