Right now, I don't understand why the decision was made to make this
change. From where I sit, it's beginning to look like change for its
own sake, on the principle of, "It's new; it must be better." In many
ways it reminds me of my early opinion of pulseaudio: a solution looking
for a problem. I don't really believe that that's the whole story, or
even the main reason, but considering all of the teething troubles with
it, I'm wondering if it was pushed into Fedora too soon. Of course,
Fedora's a test-bed for new things, but I'm not sure systemd was ready
for such a wide-spread beta test. If anybody happens to have a link to
an explanation of what's so much better about systemd I'd be glad to
follow it and learn, but it's not urgent enough for me to go hunting and
weeding out all of the blind leads.

AIUI, that's just to bring Fedora into line with all (or almost all) of
the other mainstream distros. For the time being, I'm ignoring it; when
I upgrade and move to a 64 bit system, I'll deal with it.
