    Wait, why?

    Here's why. [debian.org] Months have gone by and that bug is still there. Once systemd is on a Debian system, you're stuck with it.

    I was unaware of this, but even so, this is clearly a Debian problem and not an issue with systemd. Last I checked, for example, Arch is fairly easy to switch over to, e.g., OpenRC.
