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.

    Systemd, or not systemd: that is the question:
    Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of installing Linux,
    Or to take arms against a sea of stability issues,
    And just install BSD?
