Debian's Systemd Adoption Inspires Threat of Fork

They claim that "systemd betrays the UNIX philosophy"; it makes things more complex, thus breaking the "do one thing and do it well" principle.
"We contemplate adopting more recent alternatives to sysvinit, but not those undermining the basic design principles of "do one thing and do it well" with a complex collection of dozens of tightly coupled binaries and opaque logs."
Systemd is the worst that can happen to Linux; coming from "developers" who are well known for ignoring bugs in their code and calling on others to fix it on their side instead. If Lennart and Kay want systemd, they can just fork a distro, implement it and see who wants to use that mess. Unfortunately, thanks to their ties to Redhat, they can instead shove their horrendous bloatware down the throats of everybody.
