If you think otherwise, keep reading, the horror stories are there for everyone to see on the debian-users list [and other places], even if new horror stories are /hidden/ from view by moderation and/or filtering!
Er, Andrew, have you taken your frog pills today? Most of your posts on this thread have had little or no information content, and the latest hyperventilation is no exception. May I ask a couple of questions, please? a) What should we read if the "horror stories" are hidden/moderated or whatever? There won't be any there then, will there? b) If there is any attribute of systemd which is genuinely horrible, then do you think that you have the capacity to render a rational description of how to replicate the abomination? c) Since systemd is a sysV init substitute, it ought to be manageable to build debian with the substitution reversed, given the hordes who ostensibly support your cause. If none of them will lift a finger to help the cause, then they are passengers, with the passenger's right to get off the bus if it isn't going their way. d) Is changing to another distro, which does not use systemd, likely to prove fatal, or even make your hair fall out? And if the distros all change to systemd, then how "horrible" can it really be? Of the various vague attempts to be scary, the dire warnings of "binary logs" thus far seem to be the most solidly irritating potentiality. But how slow can the log decoder possibly be? And then the log is text, innit? It's spring. Plant a pumpkin. Make a scary mask. It'll enhance your sales pitch 500% - minimum. Erik P.S. Oh, I get it now. You're advertising _in_favour_ of systemd, by piquing our curiosity with fake pseudo-scariness, to make us eager to try it. It's working on me. :-) -- The universe contains any amount of horrible ways to be woken up, such as the noise of the mob breaking down the front door, the scream of fire engines, or the realization that today is the Monday which on Friday night was a comfortably long way off. - Terry Pratchett, _Moving Pictures_
