Michael Biebl, long-time maintainer of systemd for Debian (2010 or earlier, based on changelog.Debian.gz), is taking undetermined holidays from packaging it. The e-mail was short:
Will stop maintaining systemd in debian for a while.
What's going on is just too stupid/crazy.
This takes place after he discussed a bug in which he expected systemd to respect local settings, and not rename network devices:
@yuwata a default policy like /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link should never trump explicit user configuration.
Later he seems surprised about how things roll there:
I'm amazed that I have to point this out....
The issue is locked currently, and also archived just in case, so everyone can read the initial report and the replies he got.
Opinion: It seems distribution developers are starting to get the stick too, not just users with their "errors" (taken from a reply). Will distributions finally wake up or is that they don't still grok the attitude of projects like this? [Or is it something else? --Ed.]

Mmmmmmm . . .
Us Poles have a couple of reputations. The first is for being stupid, and that is mostly unjustified. We have our share of stupids, but not excessive. The second is for being stubborn, which is entirely justified.
My great aunts Helen (she with the flaming red hair and temper) and Mary (she with the coal black hair and heart to match) lived only blocks apart in Youngstown. The two hadn't spoken to each other for twenty years or more. I have no idea what the disagreement started over, but each wanted to kill the other. Personally, I liked each of them (they always had cookies and milk or soda for an always hungry nephew) but neither of them would hear a single word about the other.
While that isn't exactly common among Poles, it's not terribly uncommon either.
I'm not the only Polack from my home town who left his father's house, never to return. Ever. We're an evil bunch, I guess.

That particular bit of culture is likely a significant contributor to other demographics kicking your asses financially. Tight families are one of the strongest methods ever developed for wealth conservation and fiscal progression.

I like how Buzzard brought up family, is at +3; you responded and are at 0 Offtopic.

There's just no accounting for mods. Would you believe some people actually mod me down?
