We talked about this a bit in the meeting last night, so anyone should
feel free to check the log if needed:

The upshot was, this draft makes a bit more sense as an introduction,
but could use a bit of sprucing up still -- one example being to
describe extended systemd functionality (beyond boot/init) and why
it's baked in there.  (I anticipate a bunch of hater comments anyhow,
but whatevs.) :-D
