I regret James cut out positive part I said - about great job both RH and
CentOS teams are doing!

But coming back to negative part (which is about almost any Linux
distribution). These often reboots started in my recollection around 2.6
kernel which is long ago. Already then one of my friends started calling
Linux "Lindoze" apparently stressing you need to reboot it often, like MS
Windows. I would suggest to take his label with a grain of salt, as he is
the one who also used funny name for another well known system, after
Oracle bough out Sun Microsystems he called Sun-Oracle "snorkel" (as if
you pronounce it awfully fast).

This was what made first step to "similarity" at least in one respect of
Linux to MS Windows. Is systemd yet another step? No comment from me, as
at some point I decided to not be on any side of apparently awfully
polarized on this issue community. ;-)
