Steve, DLL-Hell was quoting a blog post of Russell Coker and his reply
comments. The URL was ill formed but included at the top of his message
to this list:

http://etbe.coker.com.au/2015/04/26/anti-systemd-people/

As I still read Planet Debian from to time, I saw Russell's post in
Liferea and read about half before I lost interest. I didn't read far
enough to encounter his intellectual non sequitur equating a technical
objection to a piece of software to a social/legal/economic issue
championed by all manner of SJWs these days. Apparently anyone can jump
to a conclusion and be comfortable with it while pointing fingers at the
"other" side for doing the same. Everything in the email to this list
that shows etb: was written by Russell not DLL Hell as comparing the URL
above to the OP of this thread shows.

I don't know who DLL Hell is, although I have suspicions. From that
post I really don't know his agenda as all but one or two sentences were
originally written by Russell Coker, a prominent Debian Developer. Your
recipe, although instructive (after 16 years of using it I really need
to get a better handle on Procmail), is, IMO, unfair to DLL Hell at this
time. Also, I doubt Russell will be posting here.
