I, for one, am a old school sysop that is very happy with systemd as a modern service manager. I bet there are literally dozens of us :).

Technically speaking only small portion of systemd is running as pid 1. This has been explained many times: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9515789 and I'm not going to explain this again.
> re-implementing such basics as ntp
Systemd-timesyncd is a minimal ntp client. This is not a replacement for ntp. You are free to use full blown ntpd if you want.
Think of it as a dns resolver inside your libc vs running proper caching dns server. It's the same situation.
