I am reminded of someone I read recently decrying as a loss GNOME adopting systemd components as a critical dependency because they want alternatives to systemd.
... and this a layer of open source flexibility I never wanted. I don't want alternatives to core system management; I want one correct answer that is rugged, robust, well-tested, and standardized so that I don't have to play the "How is this service configured atop this service manager" game.
That makes sense and I can see how it'd be frustrating to someone if it can't anymore. But how relevant is that today when there are enough flavors of Linux that you can install it on anything from space probes to toaster ovens?
