Actually systemd is much better documented than sysvinit, much better documented than many other key UNIX/Linux facilities such as xinetd, cups and more. If you don't think so then you probably haven't bothered reading said documentation.
What makes systemd documentation different is that rather than just saying what it does (the man pages) the authors have produced all the "design documentation", descriptions of what they planned, how they went about it it, their failures as well as successes. The whole philosophy behind systemd is laid open.
Along the way they go into such things as the original motivations; the shortcomings in sysvinit that were impeding the growth and success of Linux; all the things that sysvinit doesn't do that a an initialization and process management system needs to do; all the performance metrics -- something we don't see for sysvinit; how-to documents on creating unit descriptors and creating generators and drivers.
Thanks. I like what you say. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
