Hi Olaf,

This doesn't spoil my party at all. Redhat Linux is the moneymaking arm
of the mess known as Redhat. The fact that Redhat is #64 tells me not
that many people are buying their stupid support, even though systemd
made Linux much harder to troubleshoot and admin.

And given Redhat's, Freedesktop's and Poettering's rhetoric about how
completely systemd has taken over, #64 is unexpectedly low for the
monetary supporters of systemd. You'd think that Devuan, MX_Linux, Void,
Alpine, and AntiX would be waaaaay below Redhat Linux. But in fact all
of those distros are above Redhat Linux. This is good news.
