And the implied statement in this statement is that there has not been
public deliberation.  FACT: there has been, lots of it.  systemd is a
widely discussed topic, there have been articles on LWN, there is the
systemd-for-admins PDF, and there has been no shortage of related
traffic here and on other lists.

Personally as a desktop/laptop user of openSUSE [and openSUSE is *the*
platform I use] and as a professional LINUX administrator.... systemd is
long overdue.  Control of modern systems through a stack of shell
scripts is a dreadful, tedious, and prone-to-failure hack.
