I think you mean Poettering about.

The strange thing is that I can see the need to have an altered init system. I'm not so wedded to System V init and it's variants to not see it's flaws. It's just that systemd is not a good replacement IMHO, and is trying to do too much, while not actually achieving it's original primary goals, and making the OS startup almost impossible to understand/debug without black arts knowledge.

At least init, rc and rc.d can be pulled apart, allowing even quite modestly skilled people to follow everything through.
