It's an interesting development, and in a strange way it feels as
though it's been coming.

IBM owns Redhat and M$ owns systemd (Poettering has said that he's
continuing to work on systemd. Presumably that's not going to be in his
spare time ;) ). I wonder how that's going to play out. Maybe M$ will
make IBM an offer for Redhat.

It seems to me that at the very least, the fact that systemd is now M$-
tainted is going to make a lot more people start to think about
dropping it. That's probably good news for Devuan, and other distros
that have already eschewed systemd.
