   Yes, that's exactly, at the same time, the good point and the bad point   
   about systemd. The bad point is: it does things that it shouldn't, so it   
   increases its complexity. The good point is: it's the only one to do it,   
   all the init system alternatives just remove that without providing any   
   help.   
      
   So agreed, systemd does things an init system shouldn't do, but as it's   
   the one who launches every other processes, it's the one at the best   
   place to watch them from start to end.
