The power of language! What is clearly a distortion of the situation related at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/825 becomes an "overstatement", a minor matter; nothing to worry about; the lad just got carried away and, anyway, all things in love and war etc. And because it is an "overstatement" it is accorded a status which merits serious discussion on this List instead of being dismissed for what it is. Yet more advocacy to add to the 3,200+ posts we have in -user. Only about 1.5% of them are from the OP but he is trying hard to get up to 2%. :) The fight must go on! To hell with helping users. The Subject line and the mail content are entirely baseless because they have twisted the facts to support a particular view. If the OP had wished to discuss the technical merits of the addition to systemd his mail would have looked different. Why it didn't is left as an exercise for the reader. "There must be some truth in that rumour. It cannot be baseless" is quite a common view. -- Sent from my init-agnostic account.
