Don't look at me - I still *loathe* systemd. Change for no other reason
than to put it on your resume, and write papers about.
Examples: is it service, or target, and where of many places do I have to
look to find a given service name? Why change names, such as rpc-idmapd to
nfs-idmapd? And I've just been fighting today, because I have to munge the
MAC address for a workstation, because they have old software that is very
usefull, and there's no budget to pay the company that bought the software
$15k (no kidding) so that they can shift the license to the new
workstation, and that's tied to eth0 and the MAC.
And *why* random NIC names? Quick, you've got servers from 5
manufacturers, of different ages... what's the NIC going to be called? Do
names like enp5s0 offer any convenience to *anyone* not a hardware
engineer?
And the binary message log.... At home, I'm staying on CentOS 6 until it
EoLs.
