Oh, in the end like X windows, people will spend ten times as many man
hours getting systemd to work, and documenting it, as that little shit
Poettering spent in writing it.
Because development, uniformity and documentaion is far more important
than excellence.

 I was reading some discussion on the Fedora forum for devs, about
removing X11.  Linux's big problem, is that developers just don't really
consider end users, but themselves and their vision.

 Linus seems a bit out of place.  He's rule for the Linux kernel, the
only hard rule, is don't break userspace.  The user matters.  The user
is everything.
 Poettering joked that he broke our audio.  These cowboys need to be kept
away from the OS.
 The user matters.  The whole point of the OS, of all this endeavour, is
to serve the user, and allow the user to do what they want.
