..we could add to that blessing, that "Debian is our back-up plan in
case we are wrong on the merits or perils of systemd, and we can be
Debian's back-up plan when they learn enough on the merits and perils
of systemd to make a properly informed decision on what to do. ;o)"
The misrepresentation of systemd as an init system adds to that
confusion.
...and explaining that scornful fact in a scornless way, adds
to the challenge.
Maybe compare "the way Linux came out of Unix and Minix,
to the way systemd came out of GNU/Linux as an OS"?
What we need is less talk and more action. All this wishful thinking is
a waste of everyone's time and attention. My .02 . . .
