From El Reg:

Lennart Poettering, creator of the systemd system management software for Linux, says the open-source world is "quite a sick place to be in."

He also said the Linux development community is "awful" – and he pins the blame for that on Linux supremo Linus Torvalds.

"A fish rots from the head down," Poettering said in a post to his Google+ feed on Sunday.

    I am testing out sid without systemd. Debootstrap puts systemd in no matter what you exclude, so you remove it later. I login from the vt, start fluxbox, and have iceweasel. Gimp and mplayer need, apparently, libsystemd0. It is gonna be a long journey and I should have started from jessie and reported bugs when stuff is not compatible with sysvinit when it used to. wishlist bugs, whatever.

    Else, gentoo here I come, IIRC it has a version with a static dev tree too.

    So if I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that it's already almost impossible to use modern Debian without it getting infected with systemd?
