Not many - just few and repetetively :(. There are also many people
who either don't care or just agree. You don't expect to have the '+1'
war to happen here, right?

Yes, we have a release notes for that. I guess you would be welcome
to help draft a text that needs to be put there instead of flaming here.

Thomas, just stop with this FUD. Your constant flaming is not helping

will not achieve anything more than a place in personal blacklists,
and that would be a shame, because your "non-systemd" contributions
are valuable.
