To be fair, this seems like an illustration of GP's point:

I agree that an init system should work on complex corner-cases, but systemd remains popular because it works for most people most of the time.

Tangent: have you found an init system that you like the most? I've only used four or five init systems and don't have any super strong opinions -- maybe because I'm not running and SBC farm. :~)

Having a bridge or wireguard interface and following suggestions in system logs is not really a complex corner case. At least I don't think so.

I like systemd and use it everywhere (I use Arch Linux / Arch Linux ARM mostly). I just don't think it needs to be painted all pink as "Just Works[tm]" software.
