    I'd like to thank systemd for pushing me into the arms of freebsd and ZFS

    Sure at the time I was all WTF is this why are they destroying Linux? Why ruin something that works? Like a gang of rabid deletionists on wikipedia they just can't tolerate not destroying stuff that works...

    But the grass really is greener on the other side in *BSD-land. It really is better engineered and better designed and "just works" more often.

    I think the *BSD foundations and corporations should donate money toward systemd development, best recruitment tool EVER. What *BSD needs now is Linux needs another couple competing audio systems and maybe integrate GRUB into systemd (if its not already). I know make it impossible to run emacs on a systemd machine. Hell make it impossible to run anything but NANO as editor. And make systemd incompatible with gcc too. The future of *BSD is going to be awesome thanks to the systemd developers!

    I nominated Lennart Poettering for a lifetime contributors award at one of the BSD contributions a couple of years back (sadly, he didn't get the award). Both PulseAudio and SystemD have caused spikes in FreeBSD adoption, and both have led to some very competent developers deciding to start contributing to FreeBSD. I'm looking forward to his next project. My guess is that it's going to be a shell with natural language processing integrated (and no POSIX sh compatibility) that he will persuade distributions to install as /bin/sh.
