My suspicion is that the --without-systemd switch represents a huge
defeat for Lennart and the Redhats. When Debian decided to switch in
the summer of 2014, the systemd cartel were strutting and boasting that
they would soon own the world.

Now, 2 years later, Samba, a bedrock "killer app" for Linux, still has
a --without-systemd compile option. If Redhat had truly succeeded in
their plans, such an option would be unneeded and useless in 2016.
