Not true. You're writing in an omniscient voice but you certainly aren't speaking for me. My team moved to RHEL 7 just for systemd. We're sick of process monitors and their bugs. (it's especially great when you discover your process monitor has a memory leak... good thing there are zillions to choose from.)

So far systemd has been better than I'd hoped. For deploying web services, it's easy to use, mature, and rock solid. Everyone on the team has gotten to know its config -- no need to learn how to work with some guys favorite tool.

Reliable as all hell. No way we'd go back.

And I know a lot of shops that are still on 5. Has nothing to do with systemd.

If you were to tone it down a bit, maybe I could understand what you're getting at... Right now, though, it seems like many of your statements are demonstrably false.
