I don't agree with her sentiment that alpine should adopt something similar. The whole reason I use alpine is because it doesn't use systemd. I like alpine because it uses a simpler, lighter approach. It's not for everyone, and I'm pretty sure alpine maintainers don't intend it to be for everyone. It serves its niche really well as it is. For those who like systemd there's many distro choices already. Edit: As detaro mentioned in another comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27176391 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27176391 ) they are actually working on something, but they aim to solve the various issues around alpine that don't fit well with alpine's philosophy. It sounds like a good story and I'm open to this idea. The main reasons I don't like systemd are its complexity and its dbus reliance, basically bringing too many desktop paradigms into all Linux systems, even servers and containers. So about my above point: I'm open to it adopting a service manager but not too similar to systemd :)
