As far as I know people are either "for" systemd, or "against" systemd.

:-)

Systemd is a highly specialized and somewhat limited approach at solving problems that had previously not been handled with things like sysvinit, upstart, etc. The implementation in many ways is like somebody telling you that he's solved all of your programming problems with the most complete set of Visual Basic code you've ever seen.

My guess is that systemd will be replaced by something better in less than 5 years (that replacement could be "son of systemd", much like grub2 vs grub1). And of course, there will be much complaining/rejoicing....

systemd-cryptsetup

SYSTEMD-CRYPTSETUP@.SERVICE(8)				    systemd-cryptsetup@.service 			    SYSTEMD-CRYPTSETUP@.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service, systemd-cryptsetup - Full disk decryption logic

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-cryptsetup

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service is a service responsible for setting up encrypted block devices. It is instantiated for each device that
       requires decryption for access.

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service will ask for hard disk passwords via the password agent logic[1], in order to query the user for the password
       using the right mechanism at boot and during runtime.

       At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded this /etc/crypttab is translated into systemd-cryptsetup@.service units
       by systemd-cryptsetup-generator(8).
