Look, "/home is a tempfile" isn't just a footgun, or a bug.
It's an explicit ideological attack on the whole idea of what Linux is and who Linux is for.
If /home is just a tempfile to be purged when drivespace pressure hits some arbitrary threshold then Linux is a corporate-owned SAAS shim, and that's all it is. It's not just "breaking userspace", it's abandoning the idea that the people using that space and the stuff they've made there matter at all.

SystemD is for landlords. The whole system makes sense when your realize that SystemD's only constituency is people who want to rent out computers. Not for people who want to live under a their own roof, maybe in a community, to maybe build something together. SystemD is software for landlords.

@mhoye I've been worried about this sort of thing happening ever since I heard systemD was aiming at userspace. I knew /home would be in their sights.

@mhoye that makes sense, kicking you out of your /home is the kind of thing that corporate landlords would do
