Re: Bug#727708: tech-ctte: Decide which init system to default to in Debian.
Russ,
It seems we don't have at all the same reading of Patrick post. Note
that what's below is my comments on your comments about Patrick's
comments, and do not represent my view (which I do not wish to express
it more at this point).

The core content of Patrick post is that Lennart is using circular
thinking and is pretending that nobody but him can implement things. The
person who is being overly pretentious here is Lennart, not Patrick.

Did you find the part where Lennart tells Canonical is incompetent (or
anyone else) more useful? I didn't... And I don't think it's a bad to
debunk this.

Patrick didn't deny that. He claims that Systemd author do not document
what the different modules are doing, and do not separate them, because
there's an agenda that is followed. Patrick isn't the first person to
write this.

I'm very surprised to read this, when it appears very clear in Patrick's
post that he is working on re-implement logind (and the systemd API).
So, who exactly is denying the usefulness of the functionality of
Systemd/Logind exactly?
Russ, I would advise you to read a 2nd time this post from Patrick.
