that's a silver lining
the anti-user attestation will at least be full of security holes, and likely won't work at all

Dunno about the others but Pottering has proven himself to deliver software against the grain.
You think?
It took us nearly a decade and a half to unfuck the pulseaudio situation and finally arrive at a simple solution (pipewire).
SystemD has a lot more people refining it down but a clean (under the hood) implementation probably won't be witnessed in my lifetime.
anyone who thinks that pipewire - pipewire! - is "a simple solution" understands nothing about pipewire.
don't get me wrong, i use pipewire all day every day, and wrote one of the APIs (JACK) that it implements (pretty well, too!).
but pipewire is an order of magnitude more complex than pulseaudio.
yeah, the fix for pulseaudio was to throw it away entirely
for systemd, I don't think I have a single linux system that boots/reboots reliably 100% of the time these days

LP is the Thomas Midgley Jr of Computer Science.
I thought he had proven that he leaves before the project is complete and functioning according to all the promises made.
