It started as a replacement init system. I suspected it had jumped the shark when it sprouted an entirely new DHCP and NTP service. And this was confirmed when I saw this: "Leading up to this has been cursor rendering support, keyboard mapping support, screen renderer, DRM back-end, input interface, and dozens of other commits." http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTgwNzQ When your init system is worrying about cursor rendering, you have truly fallen victim to severe feature bloat. I guess Jamie Zawinski was right: "Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail."
