Even if the change is a genuine improvement?

How can the change be a genuine improvement, if it does something unexpected that needs to be figured out?

This is not a genuine improvement:

> One of the features of systemd that is most controversial is the option to kill user processes when the user logs out. That initially killed screen/tmux/nohup processes too.

Killing processes that the user clearly did not want killed is a regression.

Reading the rest of article it seems that its fixed but made things a lot more complicated than "unless you deliberately start things so that they keep running when you logout they will be killed when you logout". Am I wrong?
