Benno Rice is right: Lennart Poettering gets stuff done.
Because he's funded. And I strongly suspect that a lot of that funding comes from M$'s interest in Upstream. <snip>
With all due respect, many people just stopped offering any argument about systemd, and simply fled elsewhere which in _their_ opinion (and I am one of them) lies better in what they with their education and life experience is more reasonably resembling system suitable for servers.
Servers are key word for me. You can see me using macintosh laptop in variety of places, that doens't mean MacOS will be my choice for server, so don't count laptopls into any statistics. The same is true about a bunch of other sysadmins I know, who mostly use Apple laptops, whereas run Linux, or UNIX-like, or [truly] UNIX servers.
Actually, I've got CentOS on my 9 yr old Netbook, that I use while traveling. Otherwise, my home workstation is CentOS 6, and I am NOT looking forward to EOL.
But Valeri's correct: people are tired of screaming and yelling about systemd, because we've had years now of the response being "tough, it's the Wave of the Future", and Poettering is like upper management: they know, I mean, Everything, so why should they need to talk to end users (or working sysadmins)?
Lack of screaming and yelling filling this venue is more because "what's the point?", and we have to get work done.
