Poettering: The Biggest Myths

Systemd cannot block progress because (a) nobody prevents you from writing and submitting as many enhancements to it as you like, (b) a modular solution will run into multiple hard-to-solve problems wich are far worse than some nebulous monolithicism. See my other post, which you have conveniently chosen to ignore; I assume because the facts contained therein are incompatible with your world view.

The problem is, computers tend to be not at all interested in world views – unless you can back it up by actual working code.

Thus: put up or shut up.
