As an arch user, you know what I feel about the "evil" of systemd. :p

Still, it's good that these people are willing to put their money where their mouth is. If you don't like the way things are going, the right thing to do in the FOSS world is to just fork.

I'd add, though, that the complaint about preferring easily readable shell scripts is not really warranted. It is trivial, in systemd, to set up a service that just executes a bash script. In fact that's one of the first things a tutorial would show you.

Still, if they have a better alternative, they are welcome to work on it and make it available.
