The Systemd Song

A reminder that systemd is only ever taking over more and more of GNU/Linux (little by little, one step at a time in order to minimise resistance)

A reminder



Summary: Speak out about IBM's strategy before we're all using GNU/Linux distros 'barcoded' with systemd

First they came for the init And I did not speak out Because I was not too fond of the existing init systems anyway



Then they came for the networking And I did not speak out Because I was promised loads of new features

Then they came for file management And I did not speak out Because I was not sure how to argue technically

Then they came for my project And there was no one left at Red Hat To ensure systemd is compatible with mine
