Completely unrelated, systemd running as process 1 (a.k.a. init) on our fileserver decided to crash, complain loudly on the console how evil the world is, disconnected from /dev/initctl and dbus, and made the entire server refuse to reboot.

I feel your pain. There have been some terrible, terrible IT decisions made over the last quarter century but IMHO systemd takes the absolute biscuit. On systems where I have any say in the matter we do not and never will run systemd because I, apparently unlike many others, prefer my systems to boot reliably. It should be no surprise to anyone that Poettering now works for M$ (and still tries to infect superior systems with his crud).
