Hi all, There's yet another systemd thread on Debian-User, started by a guy who wrote an intelligent question about why there's no choice of init at install time:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/03/msg00472.html After a little back and forth, a guy who claims to have used Linux for 20 years without knowing there's more than one init system, and because of his personal anecdote he thinks there shouldn't be a choice and says "Please end this Diskussion and get on with important things." https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/03/msg00514.html A few posts later, a guy basically says "put up or shut up" to the proposition that the reason there's so little request for sans-systemd in Debian is because those who don't like systemd moved on: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/03/msg00540.html Can somebody please make a list, that we can put our names on, of people who left Debian because of systemd? And put the name Steve Litt on it please. We have our quiet sans-systemd corners, and right now they're comfortable, but remember that the Freedesktop/Redhat/SystemdCabal consortium has the goal of eliminating systemd as a choice, and they still have the power to take our init systems away from us, as a practical matter, so we still need to tell the truth to bullshit like that on the Debian-User list right now. Obviously there's a technical component to software choice, but forget at your peril that there's also a political component.
