Reusing existing, proven code is not laziness, it is efficiency. Yes, |
| 7 |
they could code their own version, but all the time they spend coding and |
| 8 |
testing it will not be spent on the actual project, we all end up with an |
| 9 |
inferior product. Also, by adding to the software the uses systemd, or |
| 10 |
any other underlying code, the number of users/testers of that code |
| 11 |
increases. |

You seem to think the Upower devs simply decided to use systemd instead |
| 14 |
of doing it themselves. In fact, they were always using code, from either |
| 15 |
systemd or pm-utils. The fact that development stopped on pm-utils is |
| 16 |
neither the fault of the Upower or systemd people. They were reduced to a |
| 17 |
choice of one and you blame them for making the wrong choice? |
