Systemd is not the answer to GNU/Linux any more than BusyBox is, and by all technicality, systemd is just an unmatured BusyBox.

    James,

I don't understand what you can see in common between Busybox and Systemd. They have exactly opposite goals and behaviours.

Busybox is a rewrite of many of the Gnu applications (util-linux and much more) and also non-Gnu ones. It is legitimate in free software that several versions of an application can be available, and Busybox is one of many free software projects, not less legitimate than Gnu. There are two things which make Busybox differ from Gnu in the intent: 1) be POSIX-compatible, with as less extensions as possible, 2) be as small as reasonably possible.

The Busybox development community is open and friendly. Their obsession is to stick to the standard; it's difficult to be more respectful to the Unix spirit. There must be a misunderstanding and I really hope you'll have an opportunity to change your opinion about this project.

That said, I fully agree with you that udev is the major weapon the systemd team is using to lock themselves in the place, and breaking udev monopoly with vdev is the answer.

    Didier
