I don't think the author of the document is condoning XML configuration
any more than you and I are. (Context: VR is also the author of uselessd
and he eventually gave up on it because systemd was just too complex to
redesign.)
With regard to the redesign, I've noticed an ongoing method of derailing
systemd discussion. I'm only going to digress from the mailing list for
a brief moment to point out this recurring format:
User1: "I don't like systemd that much because of reason X" (where
reason X may or may not be a legitimate reason to dislike it)
User2: "Go design a better systemd"
Notice how the discussion is turned back to systemd directly. It's
always "go re-invent it", not "make something different". I just wanted
to point that out.
P.S. because of the flammable nature of this topic, please, do NOT
respond to my posting on the mailing list; if you want to respond, send
an email.
