I wish there were some way to favorite discussions on HN, not merely the article that started them -- if that feature existed, then this would be one of my favorite discussions on HN ever... why? Well, you have a ton of bright minds, who, for whatever reason(s), can't agree, yet each one adds some valuable piece of information to the debate.
Basically, where there's controversy (especially with bright minds) then there's always something there.
I hope that future system designers and historians will read and re-read these systemd controversies we are having in the present day... maybe we'll have some fundamental key piece of understanding then that we don't now, and based on it, everyone could agree... of course, then again, perhaps that would never happen...
Still, a lively, highly informative, interesting and thought-provoking discussion! A+ as far as discussions on HN go!
