Yes, you're right. It is clearly not the case, indeed. However, I think,
in his own mind, Lennart thinks he is doing the world a favor and we
should be grateful for his works of wonder. He probably believes his
system is highly interoperable. Of course, we, as lowly peons, need to
make sure to conform with his fantastic, open minded ideas. Please smell
the sarcasm.

Though, I don't understand how I am making an simplifying assumption. I
am trying to invoke Hanlon's razor.

Totally agree and am very thankful for the community, but so far,
everyone that I know of, except for this group here, has bowed to
Lennart's (and Red Hat's) "amazing wisdom."

The image I get from the web is that most developers are oh so happy to
jump on the systemd bandwagon. Please tell me I am wrong. I think we can
assume GNU will stay free of it, but what of lovely works such as
postfix? I pray developers are wise enough to ignore systemd or to make
any systemd hooks that they would like to program, *optional*. I know
some have gone this way.
