Or, that one might notice that there's STILL a lot of talk about systemd on debian-devel -- just that it's shifted from 'should we do this' to dealing with the myriad problems that systemd has caused. The difference is that debian-devel focuses on how to fix (or ignore) particular problems, where debian-user focuses on the impact of and how to work around those problems.
