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.

    From the article:

    but he also said that he had to admire Poettering's willpower and determination. Not everybody could have pushed through such a change.

    So he thinks that's sufficient cause for admiration?

    I can think of some other person who has shown willpower and determination to achieve a change that not everybody could have pushed through. Unfortunately I'd godwin this thread if I named him.
