That writeup is agenda-driven bullshit. 1) The OpenBSD Foundation does not develop any kind of software. They are a funding agency for the OpenBSD project. 2) The OpenBSD Project is what does development. The OpenBSD project is not doing any such developement. 3) There is a Google-selected GSOC project by a student to attempt to make some sense -- in various forms -- of the problems introduced by systemd, and try to resolve them -- in various forms -- to make supposedly previously portable software once again portable. 4) There are some OpenBSD Project developers helping that student, I believe. 4) There is absolutely nothing anywhere saying the result would be OS-agnostic. Someone is totally full of shit. 5) There is nothing to show. I understand that some people hate the stunts that Red Hat is pulling these days, but please -- there is no need to drag us into it. Nothing happening here provides any ammunition like those people want.
