This is a mindblower. To quote Bruce Dubbs:

''As a personal note, I do not like this decision. To me LFS is about learning how a system works. Understanding the boot process is a big part of that. systemd is about 1678 "C" files plus many data files. System V is "22" C files plus about 50 short bash scripts and data files. Yes, systemd provides a lot of capabilities, but we will be losing some things I consider important.

However, the decision needs to be made.''

Linux is literally 62k C files. The amount of time you'll spend understanding how Linux works will dwarf systemd. At least when studying systemd you will be learning a more modern approach of init systems.

Most of those files are device/fs/network drivers and various arch support. The core you need to comprehend is not that much larger than systemd.
