Linux isn't Unix. It sounds like you'd be happier running, er, Unix - or 
a BSD - rather than a Linux distro that is considered to be the most 
cutting-edge one available.

Management? Who's that? FOSS "management" mostly falls to the 
developers, since they're doing the work.

But regardless who you choose to identify as management, you'll probably 
find that they've been very supportive of systemd, mostly because it 
solves lots of real-world problems in an elegant way. Sure, there have 
been glitches (and squabbles about timing - systemd punted from F14), 
but again, this is a running-with-scissors distro.

Personally, I'm hugely impressed with the sped-up boot and shutdown 
times, and the detailed reporting (did something fail?) provided by 
systemctl.

Fedora is lucky to have flame-proof developers like LP who aren't afraid 
to try something new...
