I don't loathe the idea of systemd; in fact I think it's an interesting and useful piece of work, which is why it's seeing adoption from multiple distributions (Arch, Fedora, OpenSUSE, possibly others).
The downside that I see is that any application that wants to support cgroups is now going to have to support at least 3 different APIs. 1) the current filesystem one (which will be superseded) 2) the systemd interface 3) the cgmanager one, which will be different because systemd won't support LXC containers and the systemd developers will not work with other groups on a generic interface. http://lwn.net/Articles/575672/ Much joy for those of us in the HPC world who use control groups a lot.
