Have Linus and Lennart come to a meeting of minds or something? Yes, they conspired to invade my personal space with systemd ;-) But as I wrote, the 80000-kilo gorilla named Amazon Web Services may make that a non-issue for the future. It's looking "cloud"-ier every day. (12 billion $ in 2016. Dwell on that number for a while.....) And Poettering worked on pulseaudio so maybe someday I can learn to forgive :-)
