My embedded devices use SystemD for socket activation and startup. It works really really great.

And I won't mind systemd's containment functionality on my servers.

For instance, a SIMPLE task like "allow the Java program started by this script to listen on port 80" is not really possible with initscripts. At least my puny brain was not able to cope with all the capability inheritance over UID change crap.

With systemd? It's easy! A few lines in the service file and you're done.

Ditto for filesystem containment and secure /tmp.
