When will the systemd proponents address the concerns that they are ignoring most, if not all, of the basic UNIX/Linux tenets? Apparently you missed it, e.g.: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-September/023294.ht...
Well, yes, I did miss that, but it tells me nothing anyway. For example, in answer to the question if they ever wondered, "why all the resistance and polarity", he says: "The answer to that question is yes, yes we have and yes we will continue to do so since resistance and polarity provides with the valuable information amongst other things if the implementation is bad and alternative approach is better ( which often reveals itself at the same time those friction take place )." (sic) He also says in regard to comments about integration with the Linux kernel, "...we dont care about their opinion on this matter." He also says about the opposition, "We welcome and embrace them and hope they evolve to the point they become competing solution..." What other large monolithic company uses the phrase "embrace"? He then cites a list of Linux guidelines and asks where systemd is falling short, where it's obvious that it fails most of them. This all reminds me of the old quote, "No man's life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session." Most times the best course to take is to do nothing. I still don't know why systemd is needed. What was so badly broken that we need, basically, a new operating system? I said it before, when something doesn't make sense, follow the money...
