(Well, there was some discussion about the dependencies side of thing as well, but I think that's more an effect of the design of the systemd suite rather than a primary issue of its own.) > Exactly, and that has been blown way out of proportion.

If I'm reading you correctly, you're claiming that the entanglement involved in the design of the systemd suite has been blown way out of proportion, and in support of that you're citing the fact that you do not need to have systemd installed to have a usable Debian testing system. But whether or not you have to have systemd installed to have a usable Debian testing system is not about the design of the systemd suite; it's about dependencies. So your citation seems to have nothing to do with the claim at hand. Is there something I'm missing that makes this make sense? -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
