It is deeply integrated into distros that you cannot run these distros without them, it has bugs that ruin production for you, and if you complain about these bugs to the systemd project, they will consider you a bump in systemd's way of greatness that must be purged.

Most recent breakage: https://lwn.net/Articles/1041316/

I hoped this kind of behavior would stop as soon as Lennart was busy with different things @microsoft (this happened to Pulseaudio and that was a good thing), but Luca continued where Lennart left, and this stuff goes on.

You... Do know that this is just a downright weird take, right? Systemd is software. Software has bugs.

    The sentence is not about systemd having bugs, its about how the devs handle bug reports.

    In the /run/lock situation that i linked, Boccassi unilaterally declared WONTFIX towards the users whose applications he broke. If i did this at work, I'd get fired.
