Gary, 

*Thank you* for actually saying something positive about systemd,
rather than just telling us to shut up. I happen to believe that in
the long run the entanglement isn't worth the benefits you mention, but
that's just a difference of opinion between us, rather than the "your
opinion doesn't count" type of thing.

Jonathan de Boyne Pollard, what's your impression of the relative boot
time of nosh vs systemd?

Thanks,
