Steve,

Put in 17 years of working on/with Debian (as I have) then accept that
most Debian developers use and want the working Debian they have or 
something at least as good.

Accept also that even those who disagree with systemd philosophically
are still prepared to work within the system to produce the best Debian 
they can - working on things lke how to get all of the architectures
and the BSD variant kernels to at least co-operate with systemd

Then accept that this Debian is not the only distribution to follow this 
path - and that there are Debian developers who may not agree wtih
Lennart, are equally good coders but are prepared to come to a
consensus to produce the distribution you're happy to consume.

If you can't do that, please go away and allow some of us to actually
carry on using, supporting, developing Debian and sometimes using this
list for the benefit of others.

Put in 17 or 18 years worth THEN complain.

With respect,

AndyC
