> It didn't come from "haters" or "trolls", it came from within the systemd community. From people actually trying to put systemd to productive use. But it was used as an example of how horrid the Linux community was behaving towards Poettering because they didn't like systemd. Okay, I really, really don't like that. I had no idea, either. Regarding Lennart's immaturity, I'm reminded of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Crowhurst https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Crowhurst, someone who joined an around-the-world sailing race only to flounder then begin sending false position data (this was in 1968). He ultimately gave up on the race and his end was unnecessarily tragic. Please do not misunderstand; there is no suggestion or hint of malice in my referencing this story. I'm mentioning it because it's one of the best examples I know of someone being unable to deal with losing face. In Lennart's case, because of the reputation/status quo and hate-list he's built for himself, he sadly may never be able to move to a more mature attitude - if he ever does have a perspective change, it may be impossible for him to get others to take him seriously. I guess the moral of this story is, if you're going to do things that are social (and open source software hacking is inherently very social), maybe fix these things early or something. Before you get famous and make a name for yourself - for the wrong reasons.
