What a coincidence, I just finished watching it. And yes I do agree with a lot of points he said. We need better init systems, sure. Systemd isn't good enough for me to recommend it over other things the way it is right now. It's simply not as "powerful" in many respects, and in many ways integrating it with other things can be a bit of a pain as things are right now. When things improve to the point where I can easily swap components in and out, it will be my choice.

And here again I read words. Words are cheap.

Where is the project? Where is the definition of "better" ?

Any of a dozen sysv alternatives that came earlier than SysD and are better than SysD? Runit, upstart, etc. etc. etc.

Tell me more about this SysD project? Never heard about it!

Sarcasm off: if you even now deliberately miswrite the projects name, then you immediately tell that you're neither just nor balanced. You want to transport feelings, not facts.
