It was a nice read, ruined by the random hat for systemd and Lennard Poettering. Haters gonna hate, i guess.

That wasn't hate, just stating facts.

In case you missed who that Laurent Bercot is, he is the main author of all that's listed on https://skarnet.org/software/ containing some very modular stuff for building rock solid and reliable init systems and process supervision since a long time, while using only ridiculously small amounts of system resorces.

If the information at skarnet.org seems too terse, there is https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/S6 , https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/S6_and_s6-rc-based_init_system , https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Flexibeast/drafts/S6

One could consider him very informed in these matters. From his point of view all that systemd stuff must look like a tragic comedy at best.

Masses of minions gonna wail, I guess...
