Go ahead and fork. Just leave me alone while I enjoy using systemd. I think some people are taking this way too personal and overreact. Forking is probably the best way to stop all the whining.


A fork would also mean that Debian (systemd edition) would not have to keep legacy init script support. You could have a 'clean' systemd in around Jessie+1 I imagine.


Debian already supports non-Linux kernels on which systemd won't function. So the legacy init support (or a compatible alternative) will still be required.


It remains to be seen if the kFreeBSD ports will part of the official release https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/09/msg00... .


The fork could maintain these.
