I've just read a few days ago the design document of systemd; AFAIU it
requires anyhow patching various daemons, no matter how trivial the
patches are.
Do you have any experience or feeling on how usable it would be today in
a Debian unstable box? Can we imagine having it as an alternative init
which a Squeeze user might want to try, obtaining something more than a
machine that simply doesn't boot half of the machine services?
Many thanks for your work on this,
Cheers.
