I unfortunately have to side with Lars (while also trying not to fuel the
fire)
Because of this he-said/she-said discussion,
I dug up and read this reference/announcement for systemd.

http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html

And from what I quickly read, it focuses on 'parallel' startup
(which I can see no other reason for, other than speeding boot time)
but on the other hand, although it talks about 'logging everything',
it didn't advertize or mention the binary approach that we now have
that many object to.
