That is a fundamental worry. Everything, except the kernel, dependent on
Poettering's (employed by Red Hat) windows-style gigantic systemd.
Nothing can run without systemd's prior consent. One tiny bug in systemd
and everything crashes. Is that RH's new "resilience" strategy?

Have I really got this wrong?

Remember the old fashioned sayings?

*** Keep it simple stupid (KISS)

*** If it ain't broke, don't fix it (= If it is not broken, do not
attempt to repair it)

M$-style script kiddies are improving Linux?

Poettering-kraft ? Nein danke.
