So, IOW, Debian will have to release more quickly or it will be too
stale to become "Lennart Poettering Linux" ... that process will take
more than a few generations, unless much can be done b/w each stable
release -- it certainly does look like as much is being to ensure a
*forced* requirement for systemd and it's entanglement as quickly as
possible; that is evidenced by Lennart's own post which decries the
systemd haters, rather than addressing the real issues that we are
concerned about.

In the famous words in an advertisement for Pantene [1], a hair product:
  "it won't happen overnight, but it will happen..."

So, it will run a course and we will get to the point where systemd will
be unavoidable in most if not all of the Linux world.
