This is such a bizarre comment. I run systemd a number of Linux machines currently but does that mean they are failing? Is taking advantage of systemd's features a failure? They run and do their function so in what sense are they failing or what does failure mean?

By my calculations, considering much of the world runs on RH/Ubuntu/Debian, all of which use systemd, things depending on systemd are far from being a failure, cos they'll run on the majority of systems.
