I belive his point is that you actually use "ln -s" to activate a service, instead of it being done by some utility, without you knowing what else it might have done too.


You can just as well do the same in systemd. In fact, I'm shipping these symlinks in my configuration packages to enable services, e.g. https://github.com/majewsky/system-configuration/blob/f1326a...


Are you really reasoning in favour of some obscure program rather than a simple "ln -s"?

Dude, we have been using *nix since decades.

There is nothing wrong with keeping things simple - no need for systemd whatsoever.
