'Twas I, and as systemd is neither GNU nor pre-GNU Unix, mention of GNU within the discussion would appear to be irrelevant, and indeed, Off Topic. One of the best-known precepts of Unix, which applies equally to GNU, inspired the thread title, i.e. systemd does *not* aspire to Do One Thing Well. Mention of 'Unix' in that context does not exclude GNU, this is not a Stallman v.
