I'm NOT specifically ranting against either Simon or Trond below. I'm
addressing the wider issue, that I think is pretty obvious to anyone
following this list for any amount of time.

Sorry to ruin the party, but I'll object to it because its just not a
nice thing to do, and its an awful thing to mess up content on the fine
site that is wikipedia.

What daily amazes me is how easy it is for people on this list to get
distracted from doing something positive, ie contributing to the
progress of devuan, and opt instead for the negative - being
disrespectful to people, or projects. You're not my grandkids, so you're
not going to get a 'talk' from me, but all of you on the list, please
just get a grip.

You know what. How about this. Think of systemd as that girlfriend you
broke up with. You've decided to dump systemd, so be done with it. Leave
it behind and move on. It's over. If you can't forget about her, its not
over, and frankly, something in your head is messed up.
