As far as I can tell, the most egregious thing he's responsible for is
for wanting a well-designed system that works!
Face it, linux is a hodge-podge of things thrown together, and held
together with baling wire and sealing wax. Lennart doesn't want a system
where a small failure in one place cascades and brings down a load of
stuff elsewhere.
Granted he's not necessarily the most politic of people, and has ruffled
a lot of feathers, but I'd much rather a system he's cleaned up, than a
system where everything hangs together on a knife-edge.
I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't care :-P
This is me:
"Seems like KDE and Gnome prefer/recommend or require systemd. OK.
Install that instead. I don't actually care what it does or how it works."
