Latest in "Microsoft employee turns smart-alec when systemd wipes part of someone's /home folder" (yesterday):

I think the Microsoft person is trying to emulate Lennart P., he can be be rude at times, so the M/S person is following along. You see this in the OpenBSD mailing lists also... I think just human nature, many people will emulate a person they see as the leader of the organization they are involved with.

His name is not Alec.

Detention smart Alec; Luca: Maybe the user is to blame for systemd defects

He works for Microsoft full-time and votes in Debian, he can also sabotage it. A cause for concern? How many Microsofters can the Debian Project withstand?
