Good for you. Let's see if you have no issues 2016-08-09, if Red Hat
wins its war against Linux.
Not quite sure I'd go that far - personally, this seems more like
Poettering on a mission to reshape Linux in his image, and is taking Red
Hat along for the ride. But I could be wrong.
I hope you're not, because the only other explanations I can think of
would be far more frightening. In one of the links Steve provided
(http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linux-systems.html),
Mr. "Pid Eins" (= "Pid One") tries to talk *all* Linux distributions
into adopting his "reinvention how distributions work" [sic] "as part
of the systemd project". Who would be interested in such a
"unification" of all Linux distributions? Red Hat? Under normal
circumstances, no corporation could possibly be interested in seeing
its excellent ideas and its unique selling point being copied by all
competitors. A corporation would want its competitors to adopt *bad*
ideas - and then step back and watch the competitors dismantle
themselves. And if we start thinking about who else would certainly
benefit from such a homogenous landscape of highly opaque systems as
that proposed by Mr. Pid Eins, we'll quickly enter the realm of what
user or developer John Doe would call "conspiracy theories".
It occurs to me to wonder if anyone in the BSD or Illumos ecosystems
might want to see Linux die (at least for server-side use). ;-)
