Sorry, I don’t buy this. If your systems are virtual machines then a reboot is already fast. Filesystem checks may delay the reboot, or applications that need minutes to stop or start, but systemd doesn’t help here either.
If your systems are real server hardware then your reboot is mainly delayed by the BIOS. Here any server (blade or normal) takes much longer from BIOS to bootloader than from bootloader to login prompt.
Fast booting was not the sole criteria for which it was selected by Debian for the *Linux* kernel.
True, but I don’t need any of the new features (never had any problems with sysvinit). So why should I change?
