It's great that non-monolithic Gnu and Linux make it so easy to replace components.

It's great iff there is a substantial benefit to be gained by doing so. If there isn't, the ability to replace components only makes things more complex and harder to integrate and test. Poettering understands that, and most 'Unix philosophy' whiners either don't or have very strange ideas about what a substantial benefit is.
