Re: Canonical pushes upstart into user session - systemd developer complains

The:

[crap]
foo = bar

format for config files is widely despised. And this is not a systemd issue, even git uses that crap instead of something better like xml, or simpler, like the hierarchical format used by apt that resembles C++ classes.

I guess you're not being serious here, but it's not that obvious. This problem is known as Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humour, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing."
