Subject: Re: Honestly, fork systemd

No, I will not be converted to systemd just because a few dictators
made a decision.*

This needs to be overturned by whoever actually runs the debian
non-profit corporation. I'm sure the tech-ctte isn't the board of directors.

"Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."

BDale has no right to make this decision for the rest of us.
But that is just what he did.

The tech-ctte has no right to dictate that we all change
the way we use linux on debian, but that's what four of them did.

*And no one else who is opposed to systemd should accept this either.

Debian is the Universal Operating System.
It is not BDale's OS. It is not Matthias OS. It is not Adrian OS.
It is not Lennart OS.

It is our operating system.
Your four supporters have absolutly no right changing it from
a unix system to a systemD operating system.

You have no right at all.
And you need to be fought and stopped.
