   I think, ultimately, what bothers me most about systemd is that it has a reasonably good administration interface and useful concepts combined with an implementation that violates my sense of aesthetics. I mean something like timer units. Is it useful to have a generalized interface to enable and disable timers? Yes. Is it useful to have a simple way to declare dependencies for timers? Yes. Is it useful to have the init system ensure that timers get executed? Yes. However I can imagine alternative solutions that still maintain a degree of independence between the cron component and the init component.

      I'd rather see the init system have a solid implementation with a way for other programs to decide policy (what should run, when) based on shared concepts and a minimal text-based interface (i.e. no D-Bus).
