   The register reached out to MS for a comment on LP; no comment; LP's   
   blog has no comment.  The 'opinion' of LLM is:

   The llm's idea of 'his move' was the one from RedHat to MS, not the one   
   from MS to the new co.   
      
   Whether one hates systemd or not, LP is predominantly an open source and   
   linux dev.   
      
   Another 'positive' feature about his 'ideas' is that his idea about   
   systemd and its role was embraced by most other linux/opensource devs.
