    And they would be wrong. Booting is more important than security in the same sense that being born is more important than your ability to fight off an infection.

    Wait, you're claiming that Linux sans systemd doesn't boot?

    SysVinit and the other old-school init systems were merely accused of booting too slowly, leading to the primary reason claimed for needing the systemd infection. The non-booting systems [google.com] of late have actually been the ones using systemd.
