   They did try with the namespace-controversy where they demanded the   
   Linux kernel developers to change the name iof a namespace for they had   
   picked to use the same spacename. I think much of the bad attitude came   
   from Lennart Poettering and lets hope there will be a "pipewire" for   
   systemd too.   
      
   For me it's been more of the security concern, they assume quite a lot   
   of things in the code without really knowing and the more code they have   
   in systemd the more risk for security issues and they already top   
   numbers of critical security issues compared with the other init systems   
   (I think it's quite same to say combined).
