I've been in enough protests to know one when I see one
I've been in enough protests to know one when I see one. Do any of the systemd haters really think this is an issue that would be worth marching in the streets over, much less facing down opponents armed with mace, clubs, and Tasers? I've done all these things so I do know what I am talking about.
Systemd, unlike wars, trade treaties, or animal testing, does not hurt people. If you really don't like systemd you can unilaterally opt out of it by not updating or by forking your favorite distro (pin the init system and don[t use newer versions of GNOME) and therefore need not try to prevent others from using it. This is like eating or not eating meat would be if it really did come from a "factory" and not from animals at all. In fact, using or not using systemd is like eating or not eating TOFU: it's your own choice to make, thank's to the freedom free software gives us. Systemd never gave me trouble and I enjoy playing with it, so it stays in my machines. I find it easy to use once learned.
