I think your missing the consensual point here. Systemd is not an init
system. It is becoming an all inclusive operating system. If the entire
point of this system is to get away from systemd and its ideals, why would
we put forth any effort to ensure its continued use/growth.

And your talk about hate speech is a problem. Emotions are inseparable
from the human condition. Identifying a problem, feeling strongly about
that problem, and voicing disagreement and opinion on said problem is not
hate speech. Your responses beg me to ask the question.

'Who do you work for?'
