The spreading of systemd continues, now actively pushed by themselves unto other projects, like tmux:
"With systemd 230 we switched to a default in which user processes started as part of a login session are terminated when the session exists (KillUserProcesses=yes).
[...] Unfortunately this means starting tmux in the usual way is not effective, because it will be killed upon logout."
It seems methods already in use (daemon, nohup) are not good for them, so handling of processes after logout has to change at their request and as how they say. They don't even engange into a discussion about the general issue, but just pop up with the "solution". And what's the "reason" all this started rolling? dbus & GNOME coders can't do a clean logout so it must be handled for them.
Just a "concidence" systemd came to the rescue and every other project like screen or wget will require changes too, or new shims like a nohup will need to be coded just in case you want to use with a non changed program. Users can probably burn all the now obsolete UNIX books. The systemd configuration becomes more like a fake option, as if you don't use it you run into the poorly programmed apps for the time being, and if they ever get fixed, the new policy has been forced into more targets.
Seen at lobsters 1 & 2 where some BSD people look pissed at best. Red Hat, please, just fork and do you own thing, leaving the rest of us in peace. Debian et al, wake up before RH signed RPMs become a hard dependency.

Who said it has to be a microkernel? See Plan 9: http://foswiki.cs.uu.nl/foswiki/pub/Swa/CourseLiterature/arch-F.pdf [cs.uu.nl]

Well if you're bitching about any OS being monolithic, microkernel is the only other thing, really. It's not like you're going to complain about Linux being monolithic as a reason why it should be rewritten in Java or relicensed BSD or something...
As I recall from a bit of reading, Plan 9 From Bell Labs was basically the "more UNIX than UNIX" OS?
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"
