    I suspect these two guys would refuse a very political and
opinionated debate. From the little I know of them, they like to
concentrate on building good software rather than combating bad one.

    Though I don't want to speak for them, I think brilliant and
creative software developpers, like these two, better concentrate on
what they are good to; this is the best they can do for free software.

    Probably the strongest argument is the one of Peter Duffy. And also
the great lie about systemd: it was meant to speed-up boot, which it
fails to do, and actually it just replaces the traditional Unix/Linux
"do one thing and to it well" commands by requests to a big do-it-all
black-box.

    All these syetemd afficionados, did they ever compare boot-speed?
Do they have any idea of what the boot time is on a sans-systemd box?
Boot-time is a non-existing problem and when one person or group
pretends to solve a non-existing problem, they just lie to people to
sale them something they would otherwise never buy.
