Well, that is precisely the question.
How many distros are there?
How many different ways have people tried to figure out to do things,
leaving their results in insufficiently commented code, here and
there, all over the source code tree, in different repositories all
over the world?
How many different algorithms is systemd going to have to fit itself
nicely to, before it quits breaking _existing_ infrastructure?
What do you think Miles should have done to avoid that all-nighter?
(Yes, his example was udev, not systemd, but the problem of hidden
things breaking is the same.)
Well, the truth about that last question is (Sorry, Miles), you can't
avoid those. But overly optimistic thinking on his part doesn't excuse
overly optimistic thinking on anyone else's part.
