Bingo.  I am really not a big fan of systemd and tend to agree with the 
assessment that it is over bloated, full of tentacles that worm their 
way into everything, and doesn't simplify a thing; or so says the guy 
writing this message on a machine running Gentoo using OpenRC as he 
deliberately chose to avoid systemd.

At work I have a Centos7 server and I am really not a fan of the systemd 
management.  Seeing as Python2_7 end of life, it has been leaving me 
wondering about the future of that machine and whether a nuke and boot 
is in it's destiny and what will replace it.
