It is about fundamental approach. We always modularize things: split into smaller subunits each of the last doing its smaller task. This allows to make smaller things work reliably, and test these smaller things more comprehensively.
Astonishing ! Its how I do my projects, programming and other work. Do you think our Fedora friends might adopt your revolutionary idea ?
As it is much smaller number of combinations of factors you need to repeat your test with in case of subunits. People use this approach for ages. Programs are split into subroutines. Rockets are built from to awful degree independent modules. We had this "modular" system V boot until recently. We lost it. We got "iPhone, with whatever you can get in App store" instead. And not all of us are pleased by this change. And, BTW, there was one of the posts of MS Windows big fan on this list who welcomes this change; his post should have made everybody think...
Well, one suggestion is we set-up a working group to devise a replacement (or replacements) for systemd. The most difficult task is selecting a nice name for the systemd replacement.
No good anyone moaning when only action will bring change.
