The Grumpy Editor's guide to surviving the systemd debate

Responsibility for what? Fixing breakage caused by systemd?

Perhaps I misunderstand you, but this seems like hypocrisy. If systemd worked constructively with existing software and other distros, and if it took responsibility for fixing things it breaks (instead of, "This is your wake-up call: fork it, reimplement it, or have no more udev. Good luck."), we wouldn't be having such vehement arguments.
