This is great news! - One of the main reasons I strongly dislike systemd is that it breaks with the core fundamental *NIX philosophy of trying to achieve a decentralized model of system components. This is basic software design. If you have a complex problem you want to split it into parts, and have those parts work together by good protocols. Challenge then is to create good ways for the components to work together. Same as with the Internet. You have many independent actors working together by a shared set of protocols. Systemd does the opposite of this. It gobbles up all the daemons into a monolith. One big codebase. - Main problem, I think, is that students nowadays do not see the value / understand the value of decentralized systems. Most of them are all woke, where Soviet Style centralization of powers runs supreme. So everything needs to be centralized. One Authority To Rule Them All. More fundamentally, I think this is due to the fact that so many children don't have siblings and are raised in nursing homes, so they do not learn proper cooperation skills. So they're only coping mechanism is to force other people to their will. Thus we are left with centralized structures like systemd, a big heavy handed federal state, heavy handed european union, and so on. We need to teach the younger folks the values of decentralized structures.
Because the *NIX philosophy, for me at least, is about decentralized cooperation. To have many system services aka daemons that run independent of each other, which are created by independent teams, and we then have a set of protocols that try to integrate those other parts. This is why I love Devuan. It's a tiny slice of true freedom where we try working things out by respecting each other's boundaries. I would say, this is the true hacker spirit.
