Fair enough. But if Christoph even once refers to advantages of systemd
over "the old way", hold his feet to the fire, in terms of the many
excellent alternatives to systemd and sysvinit, and the costs of
systemd.

And of course, when confronted with a question from a guy like me about
"why all the added complexity?", Christoph should probably just reply
that all he's doing is teaching the best way to use systemd.
