Do we really need another systemd thread? 

I'm going to suggest that boycottsystemd is offtopic for this list. 
We aren't going to boycott it. I wish those who want to do so the very
best, but they should just get on with it and go do that and leave
everyone else alone. 

If you think there's anything constructive to pull from them that
should be fixed in systemd, please do so and file bugs with systemd
upstream.
