I hoping the Kernel Developers as a combined whole would see the bigger
Linux picture well beyond the desktop.
I can't see the Kernel being made to swallow something that would poison
the whole multifaceted structure in the way that the various distros
swallowed the, "just another init, what's all the fuss about?", ever
expanding systemd.
The other day I was watching Monty Python's Mr. Creosote sketch from The
Meaning of Life movie and I came to realization that at some point the
same fate will surely befall the systemd conglomeration. It is rapidly
becoming the only thing an average Linux distro needs other than a
desktop and the kernel and continues to swallow up tempting morsels left
and right. I await the day that somebody gives the project a thin mint.
In the meantime there still exists the parallel no-systemd universe, if
it all goes to hell in a hand basket and it comes down to forking the
Kernel, I think that would be the time to go to another restaurant entirely.
