> My major complaint against systemd is that its documentation is so complete, it becomes quite dense and you have to understand quite a lot of interconnected parts. "The problem is the problem" though, its complex because what it aims to do is complex. I am still positive on it as a whole though.

Aye, that is a problem. We have like 3-4 recipes in our internal documentation of "Here are the 12 lines of systemd for each of the 9 things you need to do to solve 90% of your use cases". I might ask around if we could put this onto some public blog or something.
