Fine. You do it. Draw a complete block diagram of systemd. It's not
hard: I did the block diagram of daemontools, which is the majority of
runit and a good part of s6.

Certainly you do. You respond to every anti-systemd post, and even
started the current systemd discussion. Creating the block diagram with
both box/processes and line/interactions would be a huge propaganda win
for systemd, it would be a spectacular resource for everyone with
systemd questions, and if your diagramming systemd is anything like my
diagramming daemontools, it will make you a heck of a lot more
knowledgeable about the system you diagrammed.
