Almost your entire statement here is incorrect. Systemd still looks at |
| 7 |
the debug flag until jorunald is available. There was a bug which caused |
| 8 |
lots of output from systemd to the kernel, making the kernel hang. Linus |
| 9 |
subsequently said kernel should rate limit the output from any process, |
| 10 |
plus was upset the way that Kay handled a bugreport. |

However, Linus is and was totally fine with the debug flag usage. Aside |
| 13 |
from that there are various other tools that make use of the debug flag. |

Apologies if this conflicts with your systemd is taking over the world |
| 16 |
and evil evil evil talk :-P |
