While I also agree with that having read some responses of systemd
developers developers that could have been nicer, I think it is ironic
to call out the systemd developers for not being nice and then post
statements like this:

Maybe you should think about how your fellow Debian developers who
have no association with Red Hat but just think systemd is technically
better and who are working hard to get systemd working right in Debian
feel when reading such statements.

And while we as Debian can't do much about upstream maintainers not
being nice, we can at least try to set a good example by being nice
ourself...


Kind regards,
