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.

While Homer - if he ever really existed, I myself regard "him" as no more than customary attribution for the many poets who composed Iliad and Odyssey - lived centuries before the tragedies we actually know about, I myself regard both poems - they're not books, rather book-length poems are tragedies. While I'm largely unfamiliar was Iliad as yet, the two together meant that Odysseus and his son missed his entire childhood, as Odysseus leaves for the Trojan War then does not return until ten years after its end.
What _should_ have been a three week Mediterranean vacation cruise took ten years, the lives of all of his men and Odysseus and Penelope are both unfaithful to each other.
However there are some happy times in at least Odyssey. In Solving the Software Problem: a Taxonomy of Error [warplife.com], while I've focussed on the - Medieval Catholic - Seven Deadly Sins [warplife.com] since 2010, only just recently I've also started to cover the virtues of several faiths and cultures.
(The Catholics have The Seven Heavenly Virtues, as well as the Seven Contrary Virtues, the happy counterparts to the Deadly Sins.)
In the case of the Greeks, I have just barely scratched the surface of Xenia, loosely translated as "Friend-Worship". If we had some Friend-Worship here in the modern world, there would be no homelessness, as _every_ formerly-homeless person would quickly find themselves an honored guest in some complete stranger's home! From Solving the Software Problem, a very-rough start at a first draft:
Lost on most modern people is that it _would_ be quite a foul violation for Odysseus and Telemachos to slay every last one of Penelope's suitors in their - Odysseus' and Telemachos' - own home, had it not been for those suitors to have made themselves comfortably drunk by drinking up all of Odysseus' wine and "sacrificing" his "fat goats" so as to enjoy a tasty snack for ten solid years.
If you read the title page of Solving the Software Problem [warplife.com], rest assured: it will put The Fear Of God into you!
