Systemd Developers Did NOT Fork The Linux Kernel

[isset]

you mean they haven't forked the kernel.. yet

made me laugh, thanks!

But srsly, I think it's a great joke, because you more or less actually can believe it.

The sad thing: Many people would not even have been surprised if it were true.

Spoiled too soon!

This was fixing to be an epic April Fools' joke. Nonetheless, we can almost certainly expect this to ACTUALLY happen in the near future.
Hail GNU/systemd! Hail Lennart, our Lord and systemd-savior-subsystemd!

I can't see how they could develop kdbus without forking the kernel.

How about Linux kernel forked Systemd Developers?

Ha! That made me literally laugh out loud!

The really sad thing: it wouldn't matter if it were true--just like the hundreds of thousands of other Linux forks, worst case: the good bits get main-lined, the rest get side-lined.
Edit: ...best case: everything is good, and it all gets mainlined.

[Awesomeness]

I hate April Fool's?

Exactly. Forking is a standard way to do development with git. So even if they had forked it, it would be a non-event. At most, it would tell us they might be wanting to test whether they might want to submit some changes to the kernel.
