    "what I'm seeing is Tyson hamstering to appease an irrational reaction to his comments." - i think you need to read the blog post first and not guess at what he's trying to do. He does nothing in the way of appeasement. He was more excited about it being his record re-tweet.

    Laws that attempt to protect the community from self-centered idiots should be pro-active. The best quote is "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." and for me that covers everything from community, state, country and to the world. The world would be a better place if everyone thought of the greater good and not selfish "its my right" diatribe ambitions all the time.

    it'll create more organ donors of the drink drivers on mopeds so they'd be a danger to themselves if they continue to drink/drink on 2 wheels

    so whats your solution . "you've been a naughty boy, don't do it again"? And how many times do you do that before they lose their licence to drive. If the person knows that losing their ability to drive will alter their ability to make a living, they already know the consequences so it wouldn't be a surprise to them if it happens. They can make alternative but inconvenient arrangements like take a bus, walk, cycle, get lifts from friends/partners. The licence can be taken away for ever increasing periods of time if they don;t learn after the first time.

    Drink driving should be made so socially unacceptable that people don't do it from peer pressure and no-one should make any excuses for drink drivers.

    so do you allow people to drink/drive until they do some damage?

    "Does turning idiots into criminals somehow benefit the victims?" - some of these idiots are already "criminal", driving a lethal weapon without proper control. They are sober before they go out to drink and drive so at what point do they take responsibility for their actions, do they leave it at the bar doors? People who drink and drive know the consequences so if they decide to ignore them, they should be punished. If they've just been caught drink driving and have not caused any accident then fine them, take way their licence to drive for a period of time and if it happens again then keeping doubling the punishment until they learn or if they cause an accident then DUI and jail time.

    "Technical objections != dogmatic hate" - after reading a lot of posts by those that don't like systemd in these forums, that statement does not stand up to scrutiny. Its been "dogmatic hate" under the guise of very flimsy "technical objections" that were really personal likes/dislikes. I'd love to see a list of "technical objections" against systemd that have not already been (or cannot be) refuted or have different ways of doing the same thing.

    It would be nice to have an adult discussion of the pro/cons of systemd without the emotive claptrap especially against LP.

    "but SystemD has implemented it poorly." - thats a matter of opinion

    "SystemD is pioneering the idea" - surely Sun, Apple and Ubuntu have similar in place before systemd came about.

    I think i'd rather take Redhat, Suse etc stance over systemd than an AC who "proclaims" to "understand the guts" as I am sure they would rather not have a system given to clients that would be a problem. Fortunately your unsupported opinions don't carry any weight with likes of Redhat etc, fully supported opinions with evidence probably would be looked at.

    "Which does not explain systemd's exceptionally bad design (or did they design at all?) and implementation."

    that is just your opinion because you don't like it (which is a normal reaction to "i don't like it so i'll trash it") - so why not do an in-depth analysis on its "exceptionally bad design and implementation" and publish it so we can all see what you are talking about and check your points of reference and justification for your opinion. I'm sure if your analysis has any good points, they'll be stupid not to implement them.
