Yes. Improvement or not, a thing not working the way one expects means one has to do more work to figure something out. And in case of pid1, this is never a time spent productively.

I'm all for improvements and I love updates of software, but what systemd usually does is ideology and destruction in the name of "new". Like, we have had cron perfectly working for _decades_ until one man told us we were all wrong on that.
