And, while this is not directly related to this systemd move, it is noteworthy that they are becoming more and more friendly to proprietary software
Canonical used to embrace change; but it was more than that -- they truly wanted to be a part of the free desktop community.
note that David Hennigson of Canonical is a VERY active contributor to PulseAudio, especially since approx. early 2011
I'd just like to see systemd do the same thing. This really comes down to a simple message: reduce fragmentation. If you have two pieces of open source software that largely attempt to do the same thing, and are very competitive in their feature set and developer activity, it is irrational and counter-productive to keep both projects hanging around and evolving separately with half the workforce on each.
Now I'm not saying systemd is definitely the best solution we currently have
Imagine fragmentation on something like the X server, or 3d stack
You mean like ati/radeon vs. radeonhd or all of the DE's?
