I agree that systemd has quality/complexity issues, but it is not vendor lock-in. It is free software so you can fork it – and if your fork would be better, distributions would use it and Red Hat would stay alone with their original systemd. Free software does not mean that every patch must be accepted. If it would accept everything, it would be total mess with many unintentional or even intentional bugs and flaws. It is the author/maintainer of given project, who is responsible for the quality. And if author's view diverges too much from the user's view, it is time to fork. Franta
