Scope creep as in SystemD is now: the init daemon (systemd-init & systemctl), device manager (systemd-udevd), replaced cron, mount point manager, hostname and time/date controller (hostnamectl, timedatectl), container management (systemd-nspawn, machinectl), session manager (systemd-logind), and of course... the horrific syslog replacement (journald).

It's made Linux more Mac/Windows-like. When it works, it works very well... but when it breaks... good luck figuring out anything.

I guess that's OK for a "desktop" but for a server it's a huge pain in the butt.
