I like to think of systemd in the same way as
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_ring_to_rule_them_all

It started out as a small thing - seemingly innocuous - and yet its power
grows to surround, absorb and encompass all that it encounters, submitting
everything to its will, until there is nothing left but itself and its greed.

systemd (dare I say it?) had some admirable goals and purposes, but the ways
in which its developers went about it (and still do), and the way in which it
grows to replace everything in its wake, is firstly just not The Unix Way, and
secondly goes against the concept of "my computer; my choice". The systemd
people decide things based on "their computer; their choice", without
consideration for people who are different from them.


(well, that's my opinion (or at least one of them) anyway).


Antony.
