For systemd a lot of the arguments I hear are around breaking scripts 
and controls people have built around init.d. Mix in the journald and 
binary files becoming increasingly wedged in raising some hackles. I 
know a number of people that turn off network manager on RHEL7 installs 
due to the number of problems it is causing in their environments.

As for Trump, can we just wait until he does stupid stuff as president 
before bashing him? :-P I am cautiously hopeful that he might be okay, 
but also almost expectant of the silliness to start. :-P

Businesses are pressing hard for systemd, journald. Oddly when I ask 
mine why, the people that reply don't have a real answer for the change. 
The best reason I see is from Red Hat in Parallelization of boot up 
making the systems start faster. I think systemd has some potential, 
painful to make the change, but might actually be worth it.
