Phoronix has an article up about some interesting ideas of Lennart Poettering about what could be a possible future for Linux:
Lennart Poettering of systemd and PulseAudio fame has published a lengthy blog post that shares his vision for how he wishes to change how Linux software systems are put together to address a wide variety of issues. The Btrfs file-system and systemd play big roles with his new vision. Long story short, Lennart is trying to tackle how Linux distributions and software systems themselves are assembled to improve security, deal with the challenges of upstream software vendors integrating into many different distributions, and "the classic Linux distribution scheme is frequently not what end users want."

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.

To me linux should be made up of "bits" each working together to give a whole, systemd to me takes some of that away, making any fault finding that much harder, I think that Pottering wants linux to become more windows with huge pieces of code, yes it runs slightly faster but takes away the ability to fix what could be a small problem. I've seen this with both GRUB and X-Org both are now a much more pain in the arse to fix than either Legacy GRUB or earlier Xorg that relied on xorg.conf. (I know both of these are not Pottering' doing). I agree with you looks like I'll be going to PC-BSD (have it in a vm and it's actually quite nice)
