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.

    "If you haven't implemented something like PulseAudio or SystemD yourself, you aren't qualified to criticize it."

    I like that line of reasoning. The pope can't speak about marriage. You can't speak about your pal doing crack cocaine. "if you haven't been aborted you aren't qualified to criticize it".

    "if you haven't been aborted you aren't qualified to criticize it".

    Excellent advice. If only I were qualified to listen to it!
