You're missing a point. It's about feelings. Not my feelings at all. But empathy.

Replacement for "no problem" should run without problems.

python2 had no problems - there was a clear transition path:

    1. "str" => b"str"
    2. wait some time
    3. "str" is u"str"
ALSA had no problems - just wait till PulseAudio is ready.

SysV, rc.d had no problems - just wait till systmed is ready.

If SysV was as bad there would be same amount of outcry as with systmed

Was it really necessary to make it painful?

Who? Somehow systemd defenders has no empathy and Lennart Poettering is a prime example. No matter right them or wrong they are perceived as threat.

Just be nice. It may hinder innovation but it helps community.
