    Was expecting something like that, nothing more, nothing less.

        yeap, systemd without trolls is just not the same

        this can be awesome for VM infrastructure(openNebula/etc) guys to replace bridges or tun routings(not an expert in this field but i guess this uses a kernel infrastructure directly which should reduce latency in guest OS)

          There must be a "systemd-troll" module in meatspace

          There must be a "systemd-troll" module in meatspace, judging by some of what I am seeing. ALL Init systems have to be trusted with root access, that is nothing new with systemd. Meanwhile back in ubuntuland, we are still stick with an old version of systemd and don't get these new features. I suppose I could build it locally, but the farther I fork my systems from Ubuntu/Mint, the harder they will be to maintain in an alpha-following mode.

            One good point for systemd:

            Vxlan support is available since kernel 3.7 (decembre 2012), and debian sid don't support it yet to defined them in /etc/network/interfaces.
            (miising /etc/network.d/.... scripts)

            I'll be very happy if systemd make some kind of standardization for network definitions between the distros, because currently it's really a mess, just look at debian vs redhat vs for example,
            configuration files are totaly differents.


            (I'm contributor on the proxmox kvm solution, so we are using a lot of bridge/openvswitchs/interfaces/bonding/.... and sometime I can really be a pain with current debian /etc/network.d/ script files)

              Do you primarily use RedHat?

                It was mentioned above that systemd wasn't being upgraded in Ubuntu/Mint with updating in general.

                So I ask, does this happen across all distro's? Does systemd generally stay at the released version in distros, or upgraded only on point releases for sanity's/supports sake maybe? I cant even remember if the kernel is upgraded in the point releases of Ubuntu. And would it be unreasonable to update my systemd alone from an external repo/PPA should I desire the latest release for my main rigs? (If I have to have it in Qiana, I might as well damn well get the most from it). Would this cause any issues with my distro's? Or should I just leave well alone until said point releases (Mint is now on a two year before next release dev platform, so I plan on going repo/ppa nuts on one of my machines) are released?

                Not sure just how tied in with kernel's and drivers etc systemd is.

                  In Arch we currently have 213 in [core] and 214 in [testing]. And yes, kernel recieves every point release with major versions staying in [testing] for week or two.
                  If you want up-to-date releases you should drop legacy cruft of Debian/Ubuntu/Mint and go with Gentoo/Arch.

                    You see the problem with systemd is that there's just not enough of it. They really need to add xserverd, desktopd and kerneld.
