Are those boxes (where systemd is doing a good job) used as pure servers?

I ask because most of the complaints I've read about systemd do come from 
server machines more that the usual desktop/mobile systems.

Uff... no please. Having to deal with systemd in wheezy would have been

paradigm of gnome-shell and delay the new "goodies" for the next 8 
release or we'll go insane too soon ;-P
