@sir: Indeed. Feels like a valid statement for quite some situations, even situations, not everyone will agree with, like this one:

For me, a software which causes so much #pain that other started writing alternatives, is #systemd.

Without systemd, nobody would have had to write or #fork #eudev, #elogind, docker-systemctl-replacement, #opentmpfiles (by #OpenRC), etc.

Nobody would have ever created #Devuan and we wouldn't need an externally hosted (!) #debian-init-diversity mailing list, etc.
