> systemd wars are over

Well yes but actually no.

With every new Ubuntu version I have to carve out new metastasis no one asked for. For example, 24.04 (or maybe even 23.10) changed the way sshd is started up - by systemd listener instead of sshd on its own like it was for decades. This way they saved a few megabytes of RAM (solely on computers that are not exposed to the internet, of course).

While fighting against systemd-as-PID1 is futile for many years, fighting against the spread is definitely worth it.
