Incorrect assumption. systemd is a massive security hole waiting to happen
and it does not follow the unix philosophy of done 1 thing and do it
well/correct. Its basically ignoring 40 years of best practices. Thats why
folks that have been there, done that, dont want any part of it. Not
because its new, but because its a flawed concept.
You are free to use it, but it would be a poor choice for system that has
hopes of being secure.
