As simple as that. heh seems most of this blaze has to do with users who are unfamiliar with systemd and by convention afraid of it, I suppose the devs could lay down the law and just be like 'this is what arch is going to ship with and this is what we are going to support get over it!' then maybe this'll die down. but thats just my 2 cents. I'm like you I don't really care what everyone else thinks whats gonna happen is gonna happen whether certain users like it or not, the final decision is up to the people who develop and maintain arch if they deem something should go or something could goand it would make their job even the slightest bit easier on them, who are we to complain, I mean I've taken a look at the effort it takes to build a distro and let me tell you its not easy making 100's(possibly 1000's) of things to work and play nicely together.
