I really wish I was joking or being facetious. I'm not. This is pretty much the logical end result of the abomination that's systemd, and the appallingly stupid idea of putting dbus into the kernel. There's a reason for privilege and process separation, and people seem to have forgotten it.
More facetiously, Poettering will have rejoined a BSD project after effectively having killed off Linux for any production use, and laughing all the way to the bank. :)
That is a fundamental worry. Everything, except the kernel, dependent on Poettering's (employed by Red Hat) windows-style gigantic systemd. Nothing can run without systemd's prior consent. One tiny bug in systemd and everything crashes. Is that RH's new "resilience" strategy?
Have I really got this wrong?
Remember the old fashioned sayings?

M$-style script kiddies are improving Linux?
Poettering-kraft ? Nein danke.
