> For example, I used to hit multiple concurrency bugs in sysVinit used by Arch Linux
Arch didn't really use SysVinit before systemd though, but their own BSD-like rc system, which I rather enjoyed actually..
And I got hit with concurrency issues after the switch to systemd, because seemingly the dependencies for disks and file systems aren't setup correctly by the Arch scripts requiring me to add a few fake units to fix up the dependencies (otherwise the system would just fail to boot at all most of the time).
