Re: New Group Calls For Boycotting Systemd

I think FESCO underestimates the problem in that case.  FESCO should
ask that these packages are separate (exist as different components)
and communicate with the rest of the system / systemd through fully
specified interfaces.

Linux improves because of a brutal Darwinian selection process where
any part of the system can get replaced by something different or
better.  Users -- especially in a leading edge developer distro like
Fedora -- to a large extent compose these pieces themselves, ensuring
the Darwinian bit works.

By integrating very unrelated pieces into a core package that is
required by every Fedora install, we could be preventing that process
from working, risking Fedora or even Linux.
