I am not a systemd user. Like what Bruce did as a great development
step, extracting udev. Wish I could learn how to do it myself. Also,
like that ĸen is keeping alive the eudev alternative.

But I fear it might take over everything in other software (seems to
have done it already in gnome), what would oblige everybody else to use it.

That is what I do not like: "oblige". Other than that I would, perhaps
like systemd, if it could be only considered as an option. But I do like
having bootscripts and still believe, since before Linux and Windows had
been born, when I was a "programmer", using MSDOS, I believe in "do one
thing, but do it well". Even Libreoffice seems to be done with that in mind.

So, I try to follow the discussions here and, sometimes, have a look
elsewhere, to find out at what point we are now.
