Porque systemd? :-)

[David Rosenstrauch <darose@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't been diligently following the mailing list, so perhaps I 
missed this.  But given the recent "systemd is now the default on new 
installations" announcement, I'm wondering:  what's the reasons for Arch 
making systemd the default going forward?  The systemd wiki page gives a 
lot of technical information, but doesn't really clarify any of the 
motivations behind the move.

Note: this msg is not any criticism of the Arch devs (I haven't yet 
formed *any* opinion on systemd), or intended to start a flamewar about 
the pros and cons of the switch.  So just a simple RTFM response like 
"see this mailing list thread for background" would be perfect.

Thanks,

DR
