+opaque: as a result, systemd has a lot more internal complexity that people can't easily wrap your mind around. However I argue that unless you're using something like suckless' sinit with your own scripts, you probably have no idea what your init does today anyways
+unstable: this was definitely true even in the first stable release, with the binary log format getting corrupted for example. I haven't personally experienced any trouble with it recently though.

+  Systemd has been heavily criticised, usually focusing around a few points:
+  \begin{itemize}
+  \item Feature-creep: Systemd absorbs more and more other services

+\begin{frame}{Systemd adoption}
+  Systemd was initially adopted by RedHat (and related distributions).
