Not really. What many people bothers about systemd is that it is getting |
| 6 |
more and more |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
a) a hard dependancy for software projects, e.g. like GNOME, although |
| 9 |
there's no such thing like systemd e.g. on FreeBSD, (MATE instead tries |
| 10 |
to be init system agnostic), making it harder to port |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
and |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
b) that systemd seems to be on a track to reinvent the wheel or so more |
| 15 |
and more. |

They are really working on their own DHCP server and client at the |
| 18 |
moment, also their own NTP client. Some people coined the term |
| 19 |
Lennartware for it, because it's from Lennart Poettering, like also |
| 20 |
pulseaudio and avahi. |

Some people are already joking that it wants to become the next Emacs. |

Even Linus Torvalds himself ranted about the attitude of systemd's |
| 25 |
developers at the beginning of May this year. |
