Systemd doesn't force anything on me because I don't use it, and have a much more stable system because of it. If I werre to run systemd, it *absolutely does* force an increasing number of policy decisions and questionable quality code on me.
This is what I meant when I said about how apparatchik tend to their personal requirements and opinions on to others. You are making a failure of induction, by assuming that just because you haven't personally seen any problems with systemd,, those problems must not exist. Systemd makes major policy decisions that are probably not going to get in the way of "most"1 people, but it definitely gets in the way. Oh, and who said anything about "SysV scripts"? You do know that "init" is only a tiny portion of systemd, right? Moist of the problem with systemd have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with "starting jobs".
Of course, with all that crap about systemd being a modular design (it's not - modular doesn't refer to how many binaries it compiles into) - which is only part of the unix philosophy - and blatant falsehoods ("doesn't take away any feature"), you're clearly either as a troll, shill, or useful idiot. I normally wouldn't bother feeding such nonsense, but....
The main reason I'm replying is to point out that the serious reading comprehension issue: you seem to have:
basically what you are arguing for is that people should not be allowed to have Systemd's features or be able to use them.
No, that isn't what I said at all, and it say a lot about you systemd apparatchik that you have to lie and misrepresent anyone who criticizes systemd into being a "hater" trying to suppress anything ("not allowed"). That has never been the case.. If you had actually read my post, you might have noticed I specifically said that if systemd works better for you or is just nicier in some way, then use it. I'm glad you found software that works better for you. Maybe you culd you show your fellow Linux users some courtesy and refrain from making up lies and accusations about anybody that doesn't run systemd?
My main thesis wasn't even about system directly, and instead address the misconception that features (such as cgroups) were somehow unavailable without systemd (either today or in the past).
