Yeah, I get it, these volunteers found the time to work on this one project and therefore get more of a say about what changes will be made, but you know what?

They don't get "more of a say", they get ALL the say. This is the way of Free/Open Source.
As for stopping using it, how does that work with critical packages like systemd?
It works the exact same way. If you don't like it, don't use it. Simple as that.
- betterunix2 6y agoNothing wrong with that attitude if you don't mind large numbers of users, many of whom are very technically competent and able to make meaningful contributions, giving up on the open source ecosystem. Most users do not have time to figure out how to stop using systemd when that is what their distro uses, let alone how to do so while staying on top of updates for whatever they are using instead. Most users who stop using systemd are going to switch to OS X or Windows, and they will contribute less, maybe not at all, to open source projects. The result will be an open source ecosystem that is less able to keep pace with proprietary software and has an even harder time staying relevant.
