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.

    And one of his points is basically, "If you haven't implemented something like PulseAudio or SystemD yourself, you aren't qualified to criticize it."

    One of the counter metaphors to his assertion, from the early stages of systemd infestation, is to point out that one does not need to be a baker to know whether bread is stale.
