@lkundrak @ozzelot as much as i hate the "hurr durr everything systemd touches turns to shit" takes, the "ackshually it's not in the init" response is always stupid because that's not the part that matters the part that matters is that it's all a single repo and building/using the components separately is a massive pain in the ass because it's all a single build system with a billion options

@q66 @ozzelot > "ackshually it's not in the init" response is always stupid because that's not the part that matters i do believe it sounds stupid to those regularly concerned about running parts of the systemd behemoth without the systemd's init itself, but i think you might be biased in that aspect. i have zero opinions about portability, and if i had they would be inferior to yours. however i mostly recall hearing "omg this doesn't belong in init" from non-tech people who are uninformed and genuinely concerned about the project architecture, assume no security boundaries or options to turn features on and off. this time around it's the same.
