You Lennart haters out there (and I was one of you not so long ago ;)
now I think he's not so bad after all. He just doesn't know yet how to

Good for you. I really don't see the point in preaching systemd's
greatness (or Lennart's). I'm not going to try it anyway.
:) systemd is coming whether you or I like it or not so I'm trying to stay a
bit ahead of the tsunami, that's all.
The emotions started running high when Lennart pushed pulseaudio on us awhile
ago, and he's doing it again now with systemd. I didn't see the purpose for
pulse until I (finally) bought a new computer with audio hardware I'd never
seen before, and then I finally understood why he invented this silly pulse
nonsense.
I still don't quite understand the entire motivation behind systemd but I'll
bet it will become obvious to me in the future.
Also, I really don't see a point in booting fast
A speedy reboot is very nice for those of use who compile and test a new kernel
from Linus every morning and file kernel bug reports when appropriate. If I do
find a kernel bug I may need to recompile/reboot many times as quickly as my
machine can do it, so saving 15-20 seconds per reboot cycle just feels less
painful :)
(and I don't see anything wrong with
openrc). So why do you feel the need to preach? Just curious...
I didn't intend to preach, I intended to brag that I got it working :p
