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.

    I think I'll just stick with Gentoo or Gentoo-based distros. You don't get a modular pick and choose of components but you do get to decide if you want it or don't want it and you don't have to give up much of anything if you decide you'd rather go OpenRC as they do a pretty good job of unfucking packages that have decided systemd should be a requirement.
