    If RH abandoned systemd today it would forever be better than sysvinit. It’s the best tool for the job by miles. A good alternative didn’t exist.

    Personally I lost interest in Debian for their hesitation. The community is more interested in being conservative than making good software.

      I don’t doubt that relying on Red Hat’s code makes life easier.

      My needs are minimal. I can get by on openrc, runit, systemd or sysv.

      Curious to see where s6 goes.

      I lost interest in Arch when Tom Gunderson was aggressively promoting systemd whilst being funded by Red Hat, I was sad when Debian made the decision to rely on Red Hat to take care of the low level system plumbing.

      My tinfoil hat from around 2010 still seems relevant.
