Things recently added and being worked on:
* systemd-nspawn -- docker-like containers * btrfs support * firewall support based on application id and not port numbers * moving kernel console into userspace, adding high DPI and proper Unicode support * resolving config file path with sysctl --edit / sysctl --cat * network management with networkd * auditing has indexing and is included in logging * support of stateless systems * resolvd -- vpn support, smart dns with support per-interface cache, support for LLMNR * rolling avahi into systemd is being worked on * journald remoting -- remote logging with http using pull and push model * logging stack traces without gdb * protect system/home/tmp/devices -- setup minimal namespace environments for services * timesyncd -- trivial sntp client with time saving for the devices with no rtc * autodiscovery of swap partitions with gptd * readahead support was dropped * merge gummiboot into systemd (UEFI secure boot support) I can see why people complain about featurecreep.
If you're building primitive functions as the main effort, and shipping products sitting on top of thgem, this scales. Even elegant constructs like qef have a ton of stuff of this sort. If, however, you're writing A dpends on B depends on C depends on A for any kind of A, B and C, you're creating spagetti code ( or perhaps a walled garden if it is intentional). Both lead to business failure. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right. This will gratify System Programmer and Author | some people and astonish the rest davecb@spamcop.net | -- Mark Twain
