Yea, I classify systemd as the very first "computer fungus".
It seems to want to grow over everything. It has already
consumed udev and ConsoleKit that I know of, and now
wants to drag in dbus (and integrate it with the kernel
for God's sake).

I figure it is only a matter of time before Lennart wants
some compiler feature to use in the source and drags
g++ into the systemd tree :-).
