To me a lot of the anti-systemd response here seems to be a purely
gut-driven emotional response. I realize that what kind of
preferences
we have in the software we want to use has a large emotional
component.
For example, I don't think you can put my opinion of GNOME into
purely
technical terms.[3] So I don't think that it's a bad thing for people
to
say "I am emotionally attached to sysvinit and want to keep using
it",
but to rant against a dependency on something that DOES NOT PREVENT
YOU
from doing so, doesn't seem to be a very rational way of going about
things to me.
A quick search reveals the following.
I've a software that use libuuid. Until now, the uuidd had the ability
to start on-demand the uuidd if the later, quotting "... setuid to an
unprivileged user (e.g. uuidd:uuidd)".
After that commit[1], i'm forced to use systemd, if i don't want to
start uuidd from the beginning. That's new for me...

Could you do me a favor and reread the paragraph I wrote? I explicitly
said that I didn't have a problem with people saying that they wanted
to
continue using sysvinit for whatever reasons, I was merely responding
to
the fact that some people have an allergic reaction to anything that
contains the word 'systemd' (going so far that some people extend that
disdain to the compatibility layer called 'systemd-shim' that is NOT
written by the systemd authors), and I was directly responding to an
email where somebody was complaining about libsystemd0.
