One of Debian's Developers Takes Vacation from Packaging systemd

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.]

    I modded you Funny. because the first 10 spamposts from you was a bit annoying, but now you've become sort of a meme to me apparently. I chuckled when I got to the end of the discussion and found your autistic OCD non-sense there. Can't promise I'll vote you funny next time.

    Good. I was able to mod him (MikeeUSA [wikia.com]) spam because you modded him up.
