It isn't (IMHO), it is better to have systemd (IMHO). But that was a
attempt to make rtp speak on the list ( like speaking of his proposal
about flags ) :)

His point (IIRC) was that adding cgroup to the kernel would have a small
overhead, and big overhead are made of lots of smaller one.

And (maybe) that systemd take ressources all the time, while shell
scripts only take them on boot. 
 
On the other hand, we do not really target specific ultra specific
embedded system for now, so this point may be moot.
