Thanks for your response, it is very well considered and written.

The trouble is that the "hedgehogs" seem to be going for the /easy/
option of giving in to systemd, rather that thinking about what is
actually best in the interests for their works ... perhaps systemd is
the best for them because it is becoming the "tyranny of the default"
[1], the last paragraph is gold.  If that is the case though, it is
going to be hard to revert later -- best to more properly consider the
consequences as early as possible, rather than go the /easy/ way and
succumb to systemd.

Thanks
A.
