But systemd-timedated tries to supplant them all :-). This is where
my "computer fungus" description comes from. Every systemd release

The biggest problem I have with systemd is that it violates, on so many
levels, the Unix mantra "do one thing and do it well". It may have been
a good idea when it was only supposed to provide an efficient replacement
for the admittedly fractured different system initialization system.
With it growing to subsume so many different, and usually unrelated,
tasks, it's turned into the kind of thing that we were trying so hard to
get away from--the monolithic OS with complex interrelated interactions
that was prevalent at the time.
And everything that we wanted to avoid is resurfacing with systemd. It's
become a glop of totally unrelated features and services, difficult
to diagnose and maintain, and prone to unwanted and unforseen
interactions. Tug this strand, and the spiderweb shivers.
What's the difference between 10 independent programs that all come from
the same "package" vs. 10 independent programs that each come from a
different source? Each "systemd" program is independent and can work on
its own. They are not tied together. It's not a "glop". Each program
has its own purpose and functionality and does not require the others.
As is quite obvious since they have been added to Fedora separately in
different releases.
