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."

Considering what a mess Pulse was at launch and how pathetically fragile it is to this very day compared to the alternatives which frankly were MUCH more stable and which could have had their bugs ironed out...do you REALLY trust them to take over boot with systemd? To me what this whole thing illustrates is just how controlled by corporate the "community driven" Linux really is, I mean did you hear the people clamoring and begging that an Alpha quality Pulse be shoved into their distro? Do you see the people begging for systemd now? Yet mark my words just as Pulse was rammed down the community's collective throats by the end of the year you'll be hard pressed to find any of the top 10 distros on the mainstream charts that doesn't have systemd.
I will find it interesting to watch to see if the community actually fights back on this one or if they will just blindly accept what they are given or even try to spin it as an improvement, again just like Pulse. Say what you will about ALSA and JACK but once those were set up they tended to be pretty stable whereas Pulse seems to be the first thing that breaks every time you update, it is seriously rickety.
ACs are never seen so don't bother. Always ready to show SJWs for the racists they are.
