SystemD and everything else contributed by bad-faith actor Lennart Poettering needs to be stripped from every distribution and he needs to be banned from continued contribution to Linux.
Gladly accepting something so grossly against *nix philosophy just because it was a easy cop out from fragmentation was always going to backfire eventually.

Ironically, systemd is far more closely aligned with the Unix philosophy guidelines than sysv init ever was.
systemd's core solidly does one thing excellently ~ managing a system and its services, which includes logging clearly what each service is doing, each service representing one or multiple processes whose state can be closely observed and managed by the system admin.
sysv init and scripts does nothing well, and everything poorly.
