Reading about systemd, it seems it is not well liked and reminiscent of Microsoft's "put everything into the Windows Registry" (Win 95 onwards).
Is there a practical alternative to omnipresent, or invasive, systemd ?
So you are following the thread on the Fedora list? I have been ignoring it.
No. I read some of http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_topic&q=systemd
The systemd proponent, advocate and chief developer? wants to abolish /etc and /var in favour of having the /etc and /var data in /usr.
Seems a big revolution is being forced on Linux users when stability and the "same old familiar Linux" is desired by many, including me.
Best I can tell is learn it and use it. And if you have any services, fix them so that they work with systemd. I work with one that does not and it is very slow to complete its startup.
I was keenly waiting to upgrade to C7. Perhaps I'll upgrade to C6 and retain familiar Linux.
