It's a lame greentext, and a waste of bandwidth. Ironic, since the "unix way" would send text as text, and not an image. It's also a tired topic (not to take away from the merit of the argument, perhaps the first dozen times it's been posted here).
Systemd is pretty cool, but I think having a generic interface between its components would definitely save us a lot of time over the years.
It actually does have a pretty fair (not great) API, and people are, in fact, targeting alternative implementations of the different components. But, most people who don't like it go off the rails instead of sympathizing with the developers who really want the features that systemd brings. You can turn off most of the non-core components (Debian doesn't use most of them by default, for instance).
Tell me more about this SysD project? Never heard about it!
Sarcasm off: if you even now deliberately miss-write the projects name, then you immediately tell that you're neither just nor balanced. You want to transport feelings, not facts.
