So they spend a lot of money hiring developers. The more important question is what is their agenda? What do they tell those developers to *make*? You don't hire people without a business plan in mind.
Well, once I understood their (Redhat's) motivation, which was/is enterprise/cloud/vm oriented (which is why they were so concerned about parallelism for startup, etc) - I dropped the conspiracy theory aspect of it all... it actually does make sense in that context.
And as long as Linus is at the helm of kernel development, I'm not too worried about the systemd guys doing too much damage there - I just can't see him letting it happen.
If I were the type to worry just for the sake of worrying, I'd be wondering what may happen down the road, if Linus were to suddenly lose interest in kernel development (for whatever reason) and walk away from it - who/what would take over the reins? But that would be pointless...
