Controversy is nothing new when it comes to systemd. Many people find this new Linux init system to be inherently flawed in most ways, yet it is still gaining traction with major distros like Arch Linux, openSUSE, Fedora, and soon both Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux. The adoption of systemd for Debian 8 "Jessie" has been particularly fraught with strife and animosity.
Some have described the systemd adoption process as having been a "coup", while others are vowing to stick with Debian 7 as long as possible before moving to another distro. Others are so upset by what they see as a complete betrayal of the Debian and open source communities that there is serious discussion about forking Debian. Regardless of one's stance toward systemd, it cannot be argued that it has become one of the most divisive and disruptive changes in the long history of the Debian project, threatening to destroy both the project and the community that has built up around it.

Oh systemd, Oh systemd
Thy features are creeping
Oh systemd, Oh systemd
Thy features are creeping
Taking over syslog, udev and cron
Why, oh why can I not logon
Oh systemd, Oh systemd

Oh systemd, Oh systemd
Much pain thou can give me
Oh systemd, Oh systemd
Much pain thou can give me
How often has the binary log

Oh systemd, Oh systemd
Much pain thou can give me
Oh systemd, Oh systemd

You fuck up Unix unapologetically
Oh systemd, Oh systemd
How poorly implemented are ye?

This briefly made the pain of systemd go away. But it roared back, like only a systemd infection can do.
