I turned to Devuan when a systemd laptop whould sit 1.5 minutes on the error message:
A start job is running for udev wait for isk-by\x2duuid-*** (**s / 3min)
The UUID was my swap partition's.
I thought to myself: "That's no big deal, when the system will be online I'll just correct the swap setup script so that next boot will run fine:
Then I was confronted with this systemd unit file:
/lib/systemd/system/swap.target

There was no way I could modify it short of installing systemd source code, debug it, patch it, recompile it and install my custom version over the distro's one.
Then I told myself: "To Hell with systemd, gimme sysv init back!"
And I installed Devuan Jessie.
