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.

    Don't worry.

    IBM bought Redhat to redeem itself, for years of .. well, being IBM.

    They're going to fire Pottering, and remove all the silly from systemd. They are.

    Honest. Please?

    They may drop SystemD and add the odm.

    Maybe Red Hat and all distributions based on it will morph into A/UX.
