Some may say so, but the reality is that it has always been a united |
| 12 |
effort - just not one in which everybody has a mailstop. |

Honestly, I've only seen 2-3 devs really digging in their feet over |
| 15 |
systemd units, and that isn't going to cause a total meltdown. It |
| 16 |
seems like the general problem of over possessive maintainers is more |
| 17 |
widespread. That manifests itself in a million papercuts that tend to |
| 18 |
drive individuals nuts but we've generally weathered them. I think |
| 19 |
the solution there is a functioning devrel or other disciplinary body |
| 20 |
with a faster time constant but lower amplitude. |
