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.

    The problem is that you'd need to fork an increasing number of packages.

    So? "Waaaah! Its too much work, its too hard!" is not a valid reason to not do something, even for children. If its really "teh edn of linux as we konw it!!1" then there'll be no shortage of people willing to work on it and wanting it as an option.
