     As a DIY fan, I support fully this vision. Further more, I think 
the concept of DIY-friendlyness, matches the principles of free software 
pretty well, to the point it could be used as a policy-checker. Eg:


Is Systemd DIY-friendly? --> No,  therefore accept it only in non-free 
repository.
Is Systemd anti-DIY?     --> Yes, therefore eradicate it.
