Why is RedHat trying so hard to force adoption of 1970's systemd technology?

"If we adopt new technology and incorporate it into our products, and competing technology becomes more widely used, the market appeal of our products may be reduced, which could harm our reputation, diminish the Red Hat brand and result in decreased revenue." [Redhat Prospectus]

By calculation the share arrogance of some of Red Hat's employees will have the corporate eat the Mahatma Gandhi quote it decided to commercialize in the long run but I dont give shit about some fancy notion shitty corporation like Red Hat force adoption ( which by the way it forces that adoption through Fedora, think products here or "recommendation" if you want to go further into the past ) What I asked you was to elaborate was why do you think "Systemd is so tied to RedHat's business goals".

I did not ask you for ignant 1970's metaphor so under the assumption you dont have shit for brains clarify how you came to that assumption or conclusion that systemd is being somehow run by or tied to RedHat's business goals.

Somehow you came to that conclusion and I ask how.

I knew you were a crank before, but this tactless rage-spew confirms it beyond a shadow of a doubt. *plonk*

And?

If you required some confirmation about my mood then you simply could have asked and I would have answered that it's like the Icelandic weather if you dont like it just wait a minute...
