Er, Andrew, have you taken your frog pills today? Most of your posts on
this thread have had little or no information content, and the latest
hyperventilation is no exception. May I ask a couple of questions,
please?
a) What should we read if the "horror stories" are hidden/moderated or
whatever? There won't be any there then, will there?
b) If there is any attribute of systemd which is genuinely horrible,
then do you think that you have the capacity to render a rational
description of how to replicate the abomination?
c) Since systemd is a sysV init substitute, it ought to be manageable to
build debian with the substitution reversed, given the hordes who
ostensibly support your cause. If none of them will lift a finger to
help the cause, then they are passengers, with the passenger's right
to get off the bus if it isn't going their way.
d) Is changing to another distro, which does not use systemd, likely to
prove fatal, or even make your hair fall out? And if the distros all
change to systemd, then how "horrible" can it really be?
Of the various vague attempts to be scary, the dire warnings of "binary
logs" thus far seem to be the most solidly irritating potentiality. But
how slow can the log decoder possibly be? And then the log is text,
innit?
It's spring. Plant a pumpkin. Make a scary mask. It'll enhance your
sales pitch 500% - minimum.

P.S. Oh, I get it now. You're advertising _in_favour_ of systemd, by
piquing our curiosity with fake pseudo-scariness, to make us eager
to try it. It's working on me. :-)
