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.

Remember Darwin; building a better mousetrap merely results in smarter mice.

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the BIOS, and Bootup is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious Windows,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou, her maid, art not trying to SAAS.
Be not her maid since she is Rent-Seeking.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green (and red and blue and yellow...),
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off!
...
Init io, Init io, wherefore art thou Init io?
Deny thy children and refuse thy name.
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn to glitch,
And you'll no longer be a Unix-like.
Shall I stop now, or shall I filk at this?
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art systemd, though not a Torvalds.
What’s Torvalds? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a system God! O, be some other layer abstraction!
What’s in a name? That which we call a free OS
By any other word would boot the same.
This sig for rent.
