Subject: Re: sock puppets (Re: (Song) ** SystemD)

Believe whatever you want.

No one seems to give a damn about good engineering practices, if they did there
would be no debate at all. KISS is a very simple principal, systemd obviously
violates it at the most basic level.

All the arguments from the systemd crowd are appeals to authority,
appeals to popularity
(false popularity I might add), and emotional appeals.

When that doesnt don't work, well... ban (application of authority)

The systemd people are winning.
You know why.

Because bullshit walks.
$$$$$(<-even linus likes those)

Nothing's going to overcome that.

Linux has suffered the equivalent of regulatory capture, and Linus
himself is bought.
