    nah, just need to mount them on a telescopic tower that that rises as the sun moves to the evening horizon, it can then lower in the morning as it catches the sun arriving at the morning horizon :0)

    If you ever watch any presentations given by lennart poettering, you'd possibly think the same about him. he is technically brilliant, sharp, answers questions accurately without appearing to think and all this in a second language, he can appear to be tactless in answering questions when in reality he is just answering them directly without emotion. Its just sad to see how posters mistreat him in these forums.

    So your issue is "licence". got it. Is there not already LGPL software in Linux systems (except the kernel)? How do closed-source apps/drivers currently use things like IPC that is different to systemd?

    Not really, its like saying there is only one flavour linux because they all use Sysvinit but in reality there are other flavours out there namely systems that use openRC, Upstart, uselessd (possibly), Devuan(possibly) - there are others whose names escape me. The systemd systems will be able to differentiate themselves by using different configurations, if they really want to. They already share things GNU, Xorg etc

    Sure, all those things can be done by script, and they still can if you configure systemd to do it that way. Anyway all the start up scripts are usually a standard script, why not start it up the systemd way and just use a script if you need an non-standard startup?

    the journal logging in systemd is more comprehensive, it starts before its possible for syslog to start and ends after syslog has had to exit and you can configure it to spit out all the logs to rsyslog as per normal.

    Seems fine to me bringing a load of pointless differences to become a more sensible and tidy system (bit like fixing the bin and sbin directory set up which were only on separate partitions because they ran out of disk space during Unix development and NOT because it was the "unix way") - should make it easier for admins to use different flavours of linux when all the boot up parts are the same format.

    "monolithic in architecture" - that means its a single binary with no dependencies - which is wrong otherwise every single binary with depending on a library is a monolith. this smart-ass mis-definition of "monolith" is one used by detractors of any system they don't like.
