>Most of the criticism of systemd boils down to »It isn't what we're used to!«
This casual dismissal of valid concerns with "you're just a has-been old greybeard" is a major problem with Lennart's projects.
>If people have technical disagreements with Lennart, let them find technical arguments and hash them out.
This has been done to death a thousand times, but so far as Lennart is concerned any disagreement with him is a priori cause to consider somebody's points invalid.

Poettering: systemd for Administrators, Part IX Posted Jul 20, 2011 12:13 UTC (Wed) by zuki (subscriber, #41808) [Link] Almost quite right, but not exactly... You are replying to a four page essay on why /etc/default/ and /etc/sysconfig have outlived their usefulness. In there the current situation is described accurately, proposed changes are explained in detail, the advantages are made clear, there's even an implementation so we know that things indeed can work the new way. So, what is the technical issue with the proposed changes?

No, I'm replying to 'the criticism of systemd', as I quoted.
>So, what is the technical issue with the proposed changes?
For a recent example of constructive discussion with meaningful technical content, see the ongoing thread on debian-devel titled 'A few observations about systemd'.

Okay, that thread does seem to have degenerated since I last checked on it :(.

I too think that the thread is fairly interesting, at least the first 100 messages...
