systemd the init system is by no means a monster (may I remind you and everyone else again that -resolved is merely a project under the systemd umbrella).

I'm not even sure where to begin when addressing a comment like this. You're biased against systemd in the first place so I don't see the point in discussing this.

It's really amusing that basic software engineering principles are thrown out of the window the moment things get political.

The modularity of systemd-the-monster is greatly overrated. The "basic software engineering principles" you are talking about are not about tightly-coupled interdependent in and out ball of mud with no documented protocols and APIs.

Things get political that very second back then when systemd crowd started pushing their agenda to the masses using strategies like gentle push.
