Great, then raise the issue wherever you can, do whatever you can to let people know that this is bullshit, do whatever you can to help projects which are trying to develop alternatives to systemd. Why shall you wait for RMS or ESR to get into the battle? If devuan were still waiting for RMS or Linus or whoever else to join the quest, we would not have much to talk about today. The community is not an abstract mass of unspecified people. The community is a collection of *individuals*, and the actions of a community are the result of the actions of the individuals that are part of it. > It might be time to make systemd-free a "campaign" (in the same sense as > "anybrowser"). > A "campaign" is made of single actions, and does not need to be orchestrated by a supernatural entity. I know that they are doing whatever is in their ability to let us believe the contrary, but in this community each and every opinion matters, and each and every action is important and meaningful. The only meaningless action is waiting for somebody else to come up with a meaningful action on behalf of the entire community... We are the community. We need to act for ourselves.
