SELinux is quite good actually. Systemd, I have had little reason to
interact with it so far and I expect that when I do, I will curse for
having to learn new tricks but eventually figure out that there's wisdom
here. Been using Ubuntu for 8 months now, still unclear of some of the
upstart logic but it's obvious that the SysV stuff was tired.

Sorry to see that you have degenerated to making this so personal but
hey, if that's what comprises effective argumentation for you, then go
for it.

The last visit we had on this topic pretty much concluded that Fedora's
embrace of latest technologies didn't exactly mesh with your
expectations and I remarked that you should probably find a distribution
that does.
