@mjg59 I agree, although I think there are some compounding factors that do make it more difficult in the current landscape, forcing such a (set of) undertakings to solve more of these problems At Once

but that's a thought that needs some more stewing instead of being blarfed out unfinished at 2AM :)

@valpackett Linux systems in all kinds of shapes and forms have been "competitive" in the real world since way before systemd came along, even if that were the only metric to care about

regardless, you'll understand I'm not very interested in further engaging in a discussion when the first reply is full of dramatical hyperbole and dismissal

@mjg59 but anyway, high disagree that there should be a singular "the core infrastructure" to begin with

variety and diversity is one of the things that make Linux appealing and broadly useable, harmonizing towards a monoculture ain't it imo
