I've read so much, unfortunately alot more negative -- I was wrong, you are right. Thank you. > And that there was only one vote for the status quo, and that person voted > for further discussion in preference to that. > > (https://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2014/02/msg00281.html) This post has made quite a difference in my understanding and views going forward: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/the-biggest-myths.html - consequently, I am now *much* less concerned about systemd troubles. I am still not happy about how the DU list is being handled, but that isn't systemd itself. They need a more open discussion list, such as luv-talk, where almost anything goes and ideas / views / opinions can be openly discussed without fear of moderation and/or filtering of conversations that may or may not be relevant or applicable to the general user base and without a dictator like ruling to hide things under the carpet as if they were never said.
