LWN (Linux Weekly News) provides a written account of Benno Rice's talk. The former FreeBSD core developer gives some context around systemd and what FreeBSD should learn from it. He compares the affair to a Greek tragedy which contains much suffering followed by catharsis. His attitude toward systemd is generally not negative, but I won't cherry-pick any specific sections; you'll have to actually read the article for once.

The main thing that pissed me off and made me move to slackware is binary logging. Given today's drive sizes, compressing text logs to binary makes absolutely no sense unless you are trying to obfuscate something. I don't even use them very often, but it was just such an obviously stupid and arrogant thing to do.

Or equivalently, if you're in a state where you need compressed log files, you're probably a short time away from completely filling up storage with log files.
