The whole design so far as I can see lacks the simplicity and
transparency that the greatest minds in computer science advocate.
That seems to be confirmed in that systemd is more or less permanently
broken, at least on all my machines. It takes *far longer* to boot up
and particularly shutdown than ever the old init system did.
I have given up even thinking about bug reporting it: what do I say?
Where are the logs that throw any light on the system problems?
Which bug do I report when it changes from day to day?
I suspect that many others are in a similar situation, so that the bug
tracking doesn't reflect the real situation.
All of that said, some of the underlying design ideas are good, but
particulary concurrent systems need that simplicity and transparency, and
the technology to do it exists if little used.
