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.

    The whole point of this site is the discussion following each story. Not publishing stories because you personally don't like them is not an editorial process but a form of censorship.

    Many in our community have made sensible points and observations in the comments associated with this story. There has been an exchange of ideas and opinions. As I have already pointed out, people have become very polarised regarding systemd, and some of those have never even tried it. Those that have used it have offered their own experiences, which cover the entire spectrum of how useful systemd is. If you don't like someone suggesting that you read the source, or tried to but didn't enjoy reading the story perhaps you should just skip it and wait for the next one. Nobody twisted your arm to make you read it, and there is no need to be "angry" about the matter.

    Personally, I think that this story meets all the requirements for our site but, if you feel that we are not editing stories the way that we should, please feel free to step up and show us all how it should be done.

    See my reply to MDC. Who upvoted you for this? Your statement is wrongheaded in every way.

      Puff piece. All noise, no signal. Move on to other matters; this one is a compost heap to leave behind until it's rotted through into fertile soil.

      Thank you for your constructive and erudite contribution.
