That may work towards the claim "systemd is bloated". systemd does so much more over sysvinit, having a larger bug surface.

I highly doubt that. systemd is big but it's all in one process. No single human on this planet understands all of modern sysvinit.

systemd is not all PID 1. In fact we are very modular and ship 40 separate binaries or so.

I like this approach.
Documentation comprehensiveness being directly related to software bloat would give me a compelling argument to give to my boss when asks me to provide thorough documentation for my code

Did I need sarcasm tags? I was trying to say 'any claims that systemd has no documentation must cater for the fact that sysvinit has dramatically less'.
