  Systemd isn't a political problem. It's the software equivalent of a biological infectious agent.

  You don't hold a "coup" against an outbreak of Ebola or AIDS or syphilis. You need to contain it, to stop it from spreading, and to eventually let it die out.

    Joey is the "tipping point".

    G'bye, Deb! I remember when I installed you via FTP over ISDN on a SPARC Classic. Those were good times, but we've all changed a little - even a lot - since then.
