LWN (Linux Weekly News) provides a written account of Benno Rice's talk. The former FreeBSD core developer gives some context around systemd and what FreeBSD should learn from it. He compares the affair to a Greek tragedy which contains much suffering followed by catharsis. His attitude toward systemd is generally not negative, but I won't cherry-pick any specific sections; you'll have to actually read the article for once.

    If you don't like systemd, try writing an alternative - and getting it accepted by the major distros - yourself. Eventually someone will. No software, no oaradigm (e. g. Unix lasts) forever.

    About as much sense as: If you don't like Hitler, make your own Reich and conquer the world. Yeah pretty solid advice.

        If you don't like Comcast, start your own cable company. But am I just repeating?

      *If you don't like Trump, run for president your own damn self!*

      *If you don't like Hillary, well, lock her up!*

      If you don't like Hitler, Jeeze! Just shoot the bastard!
