> On the other side you have a even driven OS configuration and management engine

You are repeating the there-is-only-sysvinit-and-systemd fallacy, pointed out years ago by the Uselessd Guy and decried by many others since but (alas!) still going strong today in this very discussion, and ironically you are doing it whilst erroneously ascribing things to systemd that it was intentionally designed not to be. systemd was explicitly designed not to be an event-driven system. The wholly event-driven system was Upstart, and in practice it turned out to be a problem. Lennart Poettering xyrself discussed the problem, as did some of the Debian Technical Committee members during the Debian Hoo-Hah.
