False dilemma. I _am_ arguing on grounds of technical merit, and |
| 6 |
simply using the term ‘philosophy’ to refer to design. |

Authorities saying bad things about Unix means little to me; it |
| 9 |
certainly is not an argument in favor of bad software and hacks. Of |
| 10 |
course Unix is very old and very tired; but here we are not really |
| 11 |
talking about advances beyond that, which I think would look like such |
| 12 |
experimental systems as Plan 9 or GNU Hurd, not mere complicated hacks |
| 13 |
within the old framework, which is what systemd is. |

In this field the arguments go round and round, however, and never |
| 16 |
change. The ‘programming practices’ columns of all the software |
| 17 |
magazines are always the same article, pressed with a rubber stamp |
| 18 |
that was worn out already 30 years ago. |
