Trying to sort out a stripped-down, more secure kernel and system to boot on an RPi. Can get a custom kernel to boot, now to try to make a minimal root partition to which I can add just the stuff I need for whatever purpose. I can understand freedesktop.org wanting to make things more usable for desktops but for servers it just seems like adding needless complexity - NetworkManager, dbus, udev, systemd. Perhaps unfair and unwarranted, but I tend to regard anything produced by them or Red Hat's "engineering" as suspect...
