  What fancy new features will we get with systemd?

    Granular privilege controls
    Powerful service dependency and security analysis features
    Tight cgroups integration both static and dynamic
    Socket activation (so you can print from your phone without having CUPS running all the time!)
    Built in boot-time analysis
also

  What's wrong with the polyfills?
...

  corecollector (systemd-coredumpd) 1: Not needed to run KDE and GNOME, but a very useful tool that many developers expect to be able to use to easily retrieve coredumps and associated metadata, without first figuring out how to configure them properly. It is great that there is a polyfill for it, but it is unmaintained since 2020. Plasma Mobile developer Devin wrote: "When debugging crashes, it’s incredibly useful to be able to view coredumps and attach a debugger after the fact with coredumpctl, this can help us obtain backtraces that would otherwise be hard to replicate again with a debugger attached. We can also then enable DrKonqi’s coredumpd integration, which can allow users to get notifications about process crashes and see them from a GUI. DrKonqi also has optional integration with our Sentry instance, which we can enable on developer installs to automatically send crashes to a web dashboard for us."
