Three frequently brought up issues: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1. Lennart Poettering does not exactly have a track record of making |
| 10 |
excellent software, more likely making banana software and if he loses |
| 11 |
interest in his project, hopefully someone will take over. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Though him stepping back from Systemd would not be a big issue, because |
| 14 |
Red Hat does endorse and support it and for sure would find someone else |
| 15 |
to step up. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Excellent software though is another cup of coffee, many just don't want |
| 18 |
to have his stuff being responsible for booting up their system because |
| 19 |
of his track record and personal attitude he shows at some conferences |
| 20 |
and is being held up against him quite frequently. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
(For example stuff like this here should not happen: |

| 24 |
|
| 25 |
2. The "Red Hat wants to take over all other Linux distributions, then |
| 26 |
squash them and Systemd it their trojan horse." |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
3. Systemd just got way too big and complicated for the taste of many |
| 29 |
techies, also usurping the development of other key components which in |
| 30 |
former times where independent (think about udev, there's a reason for |
| 31 |
why the eudev-fork came into existance). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
This and Systemd becoming a hard dependancy for important software |
| 34 |
packages. |
