#6It's not as bad as at first feared. Views here are along the usual lines; for many when there's an issue either it's something that's fixable inhouse (init scripts) or needs a support contract. Having said that, personally (old school) I lost 2 or 3 hours yesterday due to not realising systemd was changing things I changed for a reason.
You might be forgetting how bad it was at first. In fact I'd argue it was worse than initially feared, and the developer's supreme arrogance did little to help.
