Dude, if you think it's so easy to provide the set of features that systemd does in a significantly less-coupled and modular way, go ahead and do it. But if you can't, then stop telling other people how to do their job. Because unlike you, they are actually doing something *useful* instead of bitching about other people's work.

We don't need to create a well-engineered decoupled solution because most distros still have it.

Udev modularity has gone from many distros but there is no engineering reason for that, just the usual Poettering Power Play.

Read up on cgroups if you want to see how easy it is to not include the cgroups functionality in init.

I just can't tell you how glad I am that this "well-engineered decoupled" piece of crap that's SysV init is no longer in my distribution of choice. Because _finally_ we got rid of the serious flaws.

Thank you very much to all systemd developers (they are more than one you know).

As soon as we see any contribution by you at all, you may earn our gratitude as well.

Please stop calling people "Dude".
