Oh, the actual bugzilla thread is (if possible) even more depressing:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76935

I had actually started to warm to the idea of systemd, thinking that it couldn't end up the same clusterf*ck of mismatched reinventions that didn't really solve any problems that pulseaudio was. I guess it's time to move to Debian/kFreeBSD and ignore this crap.



After reading that, I won't fault Linus in blowing up.


Holy shit I always thought the systemd hate was just change-aversion until I read this.

Ubuntu probably won't because they're user-hostile, but I really hope Debian and the other major distros move away from systemd.


Incredible. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt until comment 10.


I'm not a Linux expert, but why are other services even allowed the possibility of writing to the kernel log? I seems that this should simply not be possible. If you make it possible, someone will surely abuse it sooner or later.


Jesus. This is what happens when a severely narcissistic prima-donna runs a major project. Shocking and arrogant behavior.
