It's an obvious power play by RedHat to force people to use SystemD which is nearly liblinux at this point. As the project subsumes other projects and adds more and more functions that directly rely on SystemD you'll be harder and harder pressed to run a system without it.

One needs to look no further than what their plans for cgroups are to see the future. Not to mention the plans to get rid of /bin/login and VTs.



It's systemd. The way the project is spelled has been explained multiple times. Your criticism is bit weak if you insist on spelling things incorrectly seemingly on purpose. Gives the impression you might also not be completely showing things in an objective light. But oh well.

Anyway, your entire complaint is explained at every systemd presentation. The maintainers want to have something which can be used as the basic building block for Linux. Various other projects now rely on that.

So systemd is successful, but surely it is a conspiracy! hahaha
