Why is there way more conversation around SystemD than anything else? Almost everyone here agrees it's not good.

Here's a Potteringism, from the designer of SystemD for you, on another program:

Description    :
Libcanberra is an implementation of the Freedesktop Sound Theme
specification.  It allows developers to play sounds given a list of events.

WWW: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/libcanberra/
Libcanberra is for SOUND, Not GRAPHICS. So why does it have a zillion X11, gtk, gdk, cairo, atk and font dependencies. I don't want Pango either. I couldn't help getting pulled into this conversation, which is just mostly everyone agreeing on how bad Systemd is, but I noticed this a few days ago, and wanted to point it out.

When something is so bloated, that it takes hours to compile, instead of something that's functional and just works that takes a few minutes. That translates to an increased amount of CPU and RAM it will use when it runs, only because it's linked to a lot of unneeded dependencies for no reason, that also run for no reason.

As FreeBSD doesn't use systemd I suggest you ask that question on a more appropriate Linux forum where systemd is actually used.

And with that I'm going to close this, we indeed already have enough of this.
