You just wait until systemd provides the ability to edit files. Maybe this was the point all along; Poettering has said that systemd is aiming to unify "pointless differences between distributions".
We are systemd. Lower your memory locks and surrender your processes. We will add your calls and code distinctiveness to our own. Your functions will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
You missed the attempt at a recursive DNS resolver - resolverd. This has had bugs, including security concerns, that were long since solved problems in bind and other implementations. IIRC it also hard-codes falling back to Google DNS, which may not be desirable.
The road to ruin is always in good repair, and the travellers pay the
expense of it.

Do one thing, and do it well. Systemd has eaten init, udev, inetd, syslog and soon dhcpd. Yes, that is getting ridiculous.

I think we sould call systemd the Master Control Program since it seems to like making oter programs functions its own.
