Your transition from sysvinit to systemd on Arch wasn't smooth in the same way that Lizi's upgrade to Debian 7 failed recently. Nothing works perfectly all the time. But that doesn't mean that all transitions to systemd or all Debian upgrades from vX to vX+1 are going to be rocky. For most users, a transition to systemd (or upstart) is going to be straighforward and painless. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
