The OP and a few others are determined to have endless flame wars about systemd. The OP in particular has started endless "threads" on this subject.
Since we cannot stop him, please can't the rest of us just ignore him? At least the threads will then be short. PLEASE. If you like Debian, use it. If you don't like it, don't use it. If you want to fork it, fork it. This once super list is becoming a pain, but there is nowhere else to go for good Debian advice. Which is still available here, amongst the dross.
