Can you summarize your feeling against systemd.
It's not a question of feelings, it's a question of technical merit. You can find various arguments for, or against, systemd out there, and I very much do not wish to import *that* discussion into this mailing-list; you can find plenty of it in other places. The technical arguments against systemd are very well summed up by Rich Felker here: http://ewontfix.com/14/ Less technical, more political, but still valid, arguments, are summed up here: http://boycottsystemd.org/ For equity: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/why.html Now please, let me repeat that I do not want discussion about systemd to happen here. It's a subject that people easily get passionate and emotionally involved about, which is a good thing - it shows that there's a real, important issue, that needs to be solved - but it's really hard to keep a level-headed, civil and constructive discussion. Most systemd threads out there turn into flamefests after a few posts (if that), involve very little technical knowledge, and are basically a waste of time. We want to provide a real, usable alternative. Our goal is not to stand against systemd, but to have a clean, well-designed, lighter and less monolithic init system so users have a choice. systemd is not our focus; discussing systemd takes us away from our focus. If you (not specifically Vincent, but anyone on the mailing-list) feel the need to argue that systemd solves world hunger and we don't need anything else, please take it off the mailing-list. If you feel the need to argue that systemd is a horrible pile of crap, my heart is with you, but please also take it off the mailing-list. -- Laurent
