[Ed's Comment: Not wishing to ignite yet another flame war regarding the adoption of systemd, I hesitated before publishing this story. However, although it is not an formal survey, it might still reflect the views of the greater linux user community rather than those who frequent this particular site. There is no need to restate the arguments seen over the last few weeks - they are well known and understood - but the survey might have a point.]
http://q5sys.sh has recenlty conducted a survey finding many Linux users may be in favour of systemd:
First off lets keep one thing in mind, this was not a professional survey. As such the results need to be taken as nothing more than the opinions of the 4755 individuals who responded. While the survey responses show that 47% of the respondents are in favor of systemd, that does not mean that 47% of the overall linux community is in favor of systemd. The actual value may be higher or lower. This is simply a small capture of our overall community.
Although the author questions the results could this be an indication that we're really seeing a vocal minority who don't want systemd while the silent majority either do or simply don't care? Poll results and the original blog post.

Polls like this only confirm that people don't know the FACTS about systemd.
I don't want to spread rumors, but it's been well-established that systemd was born in Kenya and shouldn't have been eligible to serve as an init system.
I've heard that systemd causes cancer and is linked to pedophilia in lab rats.
systemd kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.
systemd was the real culprit behind 9/11.
systemd is contributing to delinquency among our nation's youth.
systemd dwells in the darkest depths of Mordor and shares power with no one.
Anyway, that's what I heard.
I really don't care about systemd one way or the other.
Thank God for FreeBSD.
