Well a quick web search (though I couldn't quite find the reference to the mailing list reference from Andrew at Samba) shows that the issue is that it is a) a change from unix style services that do something well and don't overtake the rest of the system b) a system that increasingly does more (whether that's negotiate DNS for you and/or log in a binary format) and more besides. It's true that I've no idea if any of those sources on the internet are super trustworthy. But I did already kill my distro's setup a little, so I can kinda see how sudo/su/and a host of other services can accidentally on purpose die just because of the init system changing (like if you (well, I personally in this instance) modify or dpkg delete (whatever the vernacular for that is) systemd (or partially))
As to my order, not that it probably matters, as I ordered the LibreTea card. (I'm not sure if that'll come with systemd since libsystemd is (perhaps) free in some senses of the term. But increasingly less, as per Luke's post.
Though, I also see your points about wanting to have expected behaviour, and seeing a distro as whatever that distro is (good or bad).
Happy hacking,
Russell

No on all three counts. The only thing "wrong" with systemd is that some people don't like it.
Kind of like how I can't stand vi. But that's a whole other discussion. :P
