> it's not exactly a good choice for embedded systems.

I don't develop embedded systems, but systemd is actually popular in that space because of its watchdog capabilities and its inclusion in projects like GenIVI and Tizen.

More detail is in this post from an embedded systems developer here: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoroni...

I see nothing there that can't be achieved by a simple supervision suite. s6, nosh, even runit provide those features; the extra complexity of systemd isn't needed at all. If even embedded developers are getting pulled in by the sirens of systemd because OH MY GOSH IT HAS WATCHDOG CAPABILITIES, then we definitely need to work more on raising awareness about supervision.
