Wow, this article (the article itself, not the replies) has a mislead
right off the bat:

"The dispute centred on plans to replace the sysvinit init system
management toolkit with systemd"

Ummm, no. If they'd replaced sysinit with OpenRC, runit, s6, or Epoch,
we'd be dancing in the streets. We specifically object to systemd.

The author then goes on to call systemd "a similar but
less-Linux-specific set of tools". Systemd is about as Linux specific
as you can get.

Trade mag journalists. Can't live with them, can't live without
them. :-)
