I avoid, like the plague, discussions about systemd

FUD, emotional outbursts, and general scaremongering that I see in

all the groups I take part in this one (and one other DE group) appear to
be very level headed and talk facts.
Ok here's my take on systemd and Debian. Debian is the 2nd oldest of the
still current distros. It has remained a cornerstone of the Linux community
and a parent to 300+ distros for many years because of the good choices
made by the Debian community. You don't get a position of strength like
Debian has in the FOSS world with a track record of making poor choices.
The crew that makes up who says what and who says what stays and goes, etc,
all voted and it came out a tie and had to be broken. That alone told me
enough that half the Debian crew thought it was a bad idea. That's what I
looked at and I'll take that to heart.
You might want to post up some proof Linus is allowing that abortion into his
kernel. I haven't heard anything about that yet.
