The trouble with that is that some (many?) people think they already
*have* done completely off-limits things, and yet many other people are
arguing that those things are not completely off-limits, and/or that
their benefits outweigh that beyond-the-pale status.

As I've said from fairly early on (on debian-devel, not here), there are
fundamental philosophical differences about software design between the
sides here - under and below any differences in what
currently-manifesting practical behaviors each side does or does not
consider a problem.

(Those differences go beyond just "people who object to systemd" vs.
"the systemd developers, by the way. They also extend to "people who
object to systemd" vs. "people who think there's nothing wrong with
systemd", and/or "people who may see things wrong with systemd, but
don't think there's anything wrong with its being (made the default /
installed automatically)", et cetera.)
