    Reinventing the wheel is what they were doing without Systemd.
    On their announcement they cite various instances of having to write polyfills and ending up with basically ‘Systemd at home’ but buggier.

      Weird. We had those wheels before Lennart’s cancer showed up.

        No, init systems sucked before. It was a bunch of poorly documented and poorly managed shell scripts

        We had this fight for years, your side lost. Evolve or die.

        I honestly don’t know why you were downvoted so much. You could have get very different responses in a different forum.

          Personally, I scoff at anyone who discredits Poettering’s contributions.

          He actually did things for the Linux ecosystem, unlike a lot of people on these forums.

          Not a big fan of people who sit on their hands and only get off of them to tell others to sit on theirs.
