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.

    Were _all_ the distro- or package-supplied scripts to use stuff like xargs.

    My whole point with _refactoring_ widely-used code is that huge energy savings would result from having that refactored code come from the original upstream sources, or at least from each of the distros.
