What system that systemd replaced was so bad that it needed to be replaced by the init system.

I am not against new software, but if using a new piece of software, requires replacing dozens of other system components, then something is going very wrong.

The thought process behind people at Redhat who think "We need a new system logger, you know the init system is the perfect place to develop that" is just inexplicable to me.

I believe the only other systemd components required for systemds service manager are journalctl and udev.

for relatively obvious reasons
