Well ..  all of that may be true and systemd may be the devil ... but we
would still have it as CentOS-7 rebuilds RHEL-7 sources.  Debating
whether or not systemd is a good idea is not relevant for CentOS.  It is
upstream, it is default, therefore it will be installed.  That's just
how it is.

We just had a bazillion mail thread on systemd and how it is terrible,
we don't need any more.

If you want to see systemd taken out of CentOS ... then figure out how
to take it out.
