If you use sysvinit or some other human-designed system you just don't really need documentation though.I'm basically neutral on the systemd question. It's useful, it's convenient, it has downsides. It's also the most widely used Linux init system so there are far fewer resources (documentation, etc.) if you go your own way with runit, etc.
There is a small barrier to entry for newer Linux users who first start using a human init system the first time, because they have to forget anything they've learnt about systemd crap. That's a deliberate conspiracy by Poettring against Linux users, of course.
