    Going for funny but lacking the insightful part. Systemd is still massively growing in use meaning the number of people available to discover issues is ever increasing as will the infant bugs. It is not yet "mature" and probably the biggest valid complaint is how many distros shipped it so early.

    That graph is the infant graph of every project. The only things that are different is the scales, but then unless you've worked on a massive multi-year piece of software you wouldn't recognise it.

    They need help.
