I agree with everything you say. And yes, I do know where LP works now
;(

But presumably not every linux user knows the systemd agenda and/or has
bought into it. Some linux users really do (unbelievably) think systemd
is good. If nothing else, the "why not optional" question might help to
separate between the two.

I'm trying to work out whether the guy concerned is a member of the
systemd high priesthood, or just likes systemd. After his latest reply,
I'm tending more towards the former.
