typo? I think "systemd'sbsign" should have a dash "-" instead of apostrophe?

* A new systemd-sbsign tool has been added, that can be used to sign EFI binaries (PE) for Secure Boot. This tool supports OpenSSL engines and providers, with pin caching support for PKCS11. ukify supports it as an alternative to sbsigntool and pesign.

This overreach by systemd needs to stop! I am forced to use systemd against my will on my Gentoo installation because the developer of a product I am forced to use for work refuses to support my freedom of init systems, I left my Gentoo install overnight to update, which included a systemd update and heaven behold when I returned Lennart Poettering was banging my wife!

I feel you man, this is totally unfair. You should do something about that. I would just quit that job, like right away. Systemd on your computer? Sheesh! What is this world coming to?

You mean the packager of that product did not consider your init system as equivalent despite it also providing all the APIs that the product needs.

when I returned Lennart Poettering was banging my wife!

That sounds more like an issue of how you've previously treated your wife rather than your software update.
Given you are using Gentoo, maybe your foreplay was very elaborate but you took to long to get to the banging?

DOES NOT WANT more features. No more "feature-packing" please.

Just experienced in Ubuntu what happens when systemd takes over OOM killing duties, and logging thereof. Pure garbage. The kernel code is doing a much better job.
