Parent article: How Debian managed the systemd transition

I found what you have designated as a troll to be a tad more useful than the article itself which was old news to those of us who have following events as they transpired.

But you clearly disagree with his opinion while I share it.

Umm…okay. So a comment *starting off* invoking Godwin's Law is more useful to you because you spent hours reading debian-devel. Great, maybe, just *maybe* there are some folks here don't follow debian-devel who are interested in how the transition was done (such as me who does some support for various Linux system issues at work, some of them being "how does systemd do this?"[1]).

I don't really see anything interesting in the original post other than a "see how much of am asshat I can be" link to a proposal for systemd.conf akin to asking to present a "90% of the world doesn't want to run Debian, nevermind know what it even is" poll done (based on results at a university computer lab) at a Debian conference asking them to give up and go back home.

The rest, I'm going to assume is cherry picking quotes because he has earned that reputation at least (and having read the source of one, yeah, there's no need to reconsider it right now).

[1]And the majority of the time it's "oh, that's much nicer", the rest being "hmm, that's different, but OK". But I'm going to assume you'll just deny their existence.
