Johann  has  spent  some significant time contributing to the last two
Fedora releases, specifically a great deal of the actual conversion to
systemd init.

I'm  sure  that  he  and  others  can get something functioning rather
quickly  by  working  _with_  the  systemd developers. Even better, my
experience is that both Johann and Lennart are fully capable of coming
up  these  answers without filling everyone's days with bile and crass
negativity.

Why  not  let  them have a chance, instead of insisting on using every
opportunity to attempt to advance your own twisted viewpoint?
