> I find it hard to understand why people "expect" perfection from code written by humans. Shit breaks, people make mistakes, deal with it. Is anyone in their right minds to expect perfectly written software, while at the same time adding new features without things breaking in some obscure (or obvious way)? Absolutely right, which is why software, especially critical components, should be written in a fail-safe way that anticipates errors by programmers. systemd is not written this way: just look at the unsafe-by-default umask and the fact that a failure in message parsing can bring down all of systemd, preventing a clean reboot.
