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.

Remember Darwin; building a better mousetrap merely results in smarter mice.

"macOS" = "Mac OS X 10.11 and subsequent major releases such as 10.12".
While I still have quite the beefy Linux box it has no screen, keyboard and mouse. Given that my (now worthless) LiteCoin Rig does a good job of heating my home despite that home having no Internet service, and given that the building management shuts off the heating at night and on weekends, I figure my 16 GB FB-DIMM with 1 GB GPU and a Core Quad Xeon e5400 would make me feel warm and cozy were I to bring it into work...
... which would require a helpful friend with a car. Such a helpful friend has _already_ volunteered her truck to tote my Darth Vader-like box - really: it's a CoolerMaster Server Case, with TEN full-width 5 1/4" drive slots, four of which have some manner of drive cooler whose vendor escapes me now as well as what at the time was a really high-end Plextor Blu-ray burner, also a Floppy Drive.
Remember Floppy Drives?
I sure don't.
If I _really_ need LUNIX THE OPEN SORES OPERATING SYSTEM, that's what VirtualBox on my MacBook Pro is for.
Now, I will grant you that if I _did_ purchase a screen, keyboard and mouse for my e5400 I could get lots of PCIe driver work, but that's not a problem on my slotless Mac: my macOS PCIe customers always pre-install their card-form cards into Thunderbolt Adapters before they send them my way.
