Yep. Another reason folks are against systemd, as it also includes a baked-in http server. Systemd is also poised to become a veritable "second kernel" on linux systems and nobody seems to care enough to stop it.

Isn't systemd an user space process ?

Yes.

It's still on track to becoming a second kernel.

I agree that systemd is a bad idea in the sense that they are doing too much all at once. It is a fine level of arrogance to assume that there wont be problems along the way :P That being said this thread is about the poor souls who are running IIS servers.
