I just checked the German Wikipedia and the only rarely practically used enhancement by me is to easily switch between by two soundcards. But it also meant that a long time PulseAudio defaulted to the wrong soundcard every now and then. > infrastructural change unless they have some very specific reason to do > so; booting the system more or less works for most people, so why would > they 'opt in' to a new init daemon? But systemd seems to provide a lot of new features, e.g. a much nice syntax for the unit files compared to the ugly and non race condition free sysv init scripts and the bootup should be faster.
