[yocto] should systemd be considered harmful ?

[Alex Damian]

Hello,

In release 216, systemd includes a caching nameserver, and full TTY stream
parsing. See details

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-August/022295.html

I think the ever growing number of components in systemd will create
conflicts with the normal tools, like libresolv, used in traditional UNIX
systems.

I think the number of components shipped with and required by systemd is
pretty outside the scope for an init system.

I would argue that the monolithic systemd is not in line with the UNIX
philosophy of small tools that do one thing and do it well, and that it is
actually contra-productive to use it in embedded systems due to the large
number of dependencies needed to get it to run, as well as the difficulty
to debug when something goes amiss.

Can I get your opinions in the respect that systemd is a useful tool to
have in the Yocto Project ?


Cheers,
Alex
