How is systemd a blob?

The same way systemd is monoilithic and is violating Unix phylosophy, I guess. (you know, what do people say of systemd and isn't even remotely plausible but still they believe in it)

It is not, but RedHat is shoving stuff down our throats regardless. And remember: that's a serious joke.

Thanks Devuan we still have a choice, I hope they will ship a LVFS-free distro too.

And yes, I'm seriously trolling.

Not sure if trolling or serious.
