No, the problem is in creating a new Init replacement that is so complex that it needs an 18 part explanation of how it works and how it should be used.

If one documented how to get the same capabilities with the old system it would be as bad or worse.

I reiterate my comment. The Unix administration book ( http://admin.com ) has more than 100 pages dedicated to daemons, booting, services and logging.
Should we stop doing all this unix-y crap and return to clean and pure world of AUTOEXEC.BAT and config.sys?

Because discussions of all aspects of multiple implementations of an entire operating system is comparable to one single component which used to be simple?

From a ISV view, all the different quirks and incompatibilities with distro specific additions to sysv were hardly simple. It was convoluted and poorly documented. systemd is a huge step up.

Used to be simple? LOL.
SysV scripts were never simple. They are almost always brittle and unreliable pieces of crap. Especially cross-distribution scripts (LSB? Ha!).

Well spoken Mr Lang!
To be fair though, I do like the Roman numerals, it gives a nice classical feel to the whole proceedings!

This criticism is such empty nonsense. It's 18 blog posts, not 18 academic papers. They're very well written, illustrated with example outputs, etc. etc.
