Systemd 249-rc1 Released With Many New Features

Are you describing an init system or a cargo ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal, Michael? Sounds almost "bloaty".

For what must be the 1000000000th time, systemd is not, has never been and was never meant to be "an init system". It's an umbrella project more analogous to GNU or BSD. The service manager was just the first component they released but from day 1, in fact from the very first post about systemd from Poettering, they announced that the goal of the project was to rebuild the userland, not to develop an "init". So yes, it makes perfect sense for systemd to implement all this and much much more in the future. Or are you complaining that GCC is so terribly bloated that it includes a shell, coreutils, an Emacs editor complete with a Lisp interpreter, a debugger and a complete UI framework (GNUstep)?
