Oh bloody hell. 

systemd is a wonderous fix for a problem that *almost nobody actually had*,
complicating the most important part of system operations, the boot 
sequence, by at least an order of magnitude, if not two.

I can't *fathom* why release configuration managers for so many
distributions have been seduced into switching to it.  It's... really
irritating.

Get offa my lawn, damnit.  :-)
