I didn't intend to suggest that I thought it was mean-spirited.

I think the criticism is more in the packaging, and that the components mostly don't interchange with anything non-systemd. Though as we can see from eudev/elogind and so on that isn't strictly the case. I sometimes describe systemd as the anti-busybox. But, I don't want to derail the thread entirely... -- Rich
