From El Reg:

Lennart Poettering, creator of the systemd system management software for Linux, says the open-source world is "quite a sick place to be in."

He also said the Linux development community is "awful" – and he pins the blame for that on Linux supremo Linus Torvalds.

"A fish rots from the head down," Poettering said in a post to his Google+ feed on Sunday.

    You can buy their stuff from here: http://www.bitkeeper.com/ [bitkeeper.com]

    Shockingly, losing a single pro-bono client they made the software available to purely as a goodwill gesture didn't bring down the company.

    In terms of number of human beings using that software, linux must have been about 90% of the userbase at that time, all disappearing at once that's going to leave a mark.
