The problems are:

- it is not a widely agreed upon change
- it makes the system markedly worse according to the inspectability axis

Please...

Major distributions have adopted/are considering it (Fedora, Debian, OpenSUSE at least)
"Inspectable" for whom? The maze of shell scripts legated by sysvinit isn't exactly transparent... Sure, systemd does get some using to, but from my (rabid Fedora fan, rawhide follower; and thus user for some time now) perspective it's much better than what came before; plus is promises to really handle dependencies, not just "(try to) start this after that one on boot, and hope for the best" ordering.

O_o ~= my face when tangled knots of SYSV shell are described as 'inspectable', ignoring the rampant emergent complexity and entropy therein.
