how is shell more transparent? from my meager understanding of
systemd we are actually getting better more systematic failure and
logging information from systemd unit files than we get from the
complexity of shell scripts. Are we not?
Right now, not at all. Systemd scrapped all kinds of "legacy" logging
and will state on unit failure 'I failed, why I failed must be in some
logs somewhere, go hunt for them'
Not to mention that a sysV script failure can be debuged by feeding the
script to bash -x -v, good luck doing the same in systemd
systemd has a huge potential, but so far a lot of it is just that,
potential, and potential won't make people wait long when they have
clear and present problems caused by the missing bits. I don't think
it's wise to remove more "legacy" stuff before replacing all that's
already been removed. That may be the best path technically but from a
communication POW it's a disaster.
