13 For the record, I have no plans of forcing systemd on anyone. I still
14 maintain OpenRC and plan to continue doing so.

16 As described on the wiki, it is very simple to turn this feature off
17 either by adding your own persistent rules in /etc/udev/rules.d or by
18 overriding the 80-net-slot-name.rules file by putting a file in
19 /etc/udev/rules.d with that name. So, how is this a "systemd-ism"? a lot
20 of software has defaults that you can reconfigure.
