0) So, you're saying that there's nothing that can act as an 
   "alternative" to systemd -- implying that it genuinely does more, but 
   that's actually a bad thing.
1) udev is independent.  Use of it does not require use of systemd, and 
   if you can show the udev developers otherwise, they will treat it as 
   a bug report and correct it.
2) systemd does not replace interactive use of 'su', although 
   executing daemons as different users does necessarily require 
   equivalent functionality.
3) What does systemd have to do with intramfs, other than systemd 
   often being physically present on one?  
4) I'm still waiting for "what", not "what else"
