Thanks for announcing that people who care what init system they are running are zealots. I had thought that I was a professional with a valid technical point of view, but my eyes are now open. I realize that no objection I can possibly make is worthwhile. Perhaps I too will start making arguments that people should stop complaining about things because they are not in the majority. Presumably I was also wrong about politics being the alternative to war. That can only happen when people respect each other. -dsr-
