Sure but if you want to go against the consensus, you will have to do something more concrete.
That is precisely why I challenged your assertion that the value of systemd was because everyone was adopting it. The reason you gave for dismissing all of the gripes about systemd was anything but concrete.
So far, there are parts of systemd including logind which simply does not have any alternative that is actually maintained.
This is more of the kind of concrete argument I have come to expect from you from my time on these lists. So basically the world desperately needs what logind does and since there was no alternative, all the other negative aspects of systemd must be tolerated as a result. I'm willing to accept such reasoning if this is the case. No solution is ever perfect, to be sure.
I am more of a software developer than a system architecture person so I will freely admit to not understanding the nuances of the whole systemd adoption issue. However, my experience over the years with programming and system design make me sensitive to non-substantive arguments for the adoption of something new for its own sake.
Thanks for the clarification, Rahul.
