By the same token systemd is a major waste with no real gain. It duplicates
equivalent modular alternatives, and also requires unnecessary effort to
repair damage from excessive coupling.
I challenge you to come up with a configuration that duplicates
systemd's features with a combination of other software.

Non-responsive to his argument. If the work was biased and over-optimistic
then it doesn't matter how much they looked at it.
This argument cuts both ways :)

Many others reject choice and the anti-choice stance is the ideological
position at issue here. It is in direct conflict with Debian policy.
The systemd upstream are the ones with "vision," ideology, rejecting
opponents as "haters" in an overt campaign to establish a Linux monopoly.
They have a financial interest in *psychological projection* of this kind. I
still cannot see what Debian stands to gain by jumping on their marketing
bandwagon.
At least some of people rejecting systemd demand that it be removed
completely, including libsystemd. How is it pro-choice to forbid me from
being able to use a software at its full potential?
After all, systemd

Windows already works fine for most people, and it is consistent with the
anti-choice philosophy, so why bother with Linux at all?
Doesn't work fine for me. At $dayjob I'm forced to use it and I can tell
you my private laptop with a Dual Core 1,8 GHz and 2 GB RAM runs circles
around a Core i5 with Windows 7. But this is off-topic for d-u.
