>The TODO item is about avoiding restoration of screen brightness at boot to such a low level that some laptops consider it to be a "backlight off" state. Someone may have shut a laptop down (even automatically) with the backlight off, but we think it should probably turn back on on the next boot. Absolutely nothing to do with "crashing" bootup.

Honest question: Why does an init system need to know anything about screen brightness in the first place?

Shouldn't X11 handle screen brightness?

>I'm not sure what this is even claiming. Is this some sort of trolling about complexity the author thinks systemd will eventually add and is some sort of advance critique?

This is, I think, about the fact that systemctl edit is even a thing that exists. What's the problem with ed, vim, nano, pico, emacs, etc. that necessitates some kind of built-in systemd editor?
