Hi William,

I wasn't able to parse the exact point you were making, but just in
case it was in response to Debian ruining the Linux world by accepting
systemd, I'd reply that Debian wasn't just a single distribution: It
was the foundation for Ubuntu and probably a hundred other
distributions. Once Don Armstrong broke the tie in systemd's favor, it
foist systemd on the majority of existing distributions. And of course
they already had the redhat galaxie.

If Armstrong had voted "no", systemd would be a speck on the dustheap
of history.
