> "they despise systemd" That's really not true. We just don't use it. The reason is that GNU Shepherd is also written in Guile, so we can extend it with code that's already in Guix, e.g. for containerization of services. Nobody can claim that the Shepherd is objectively better or more feature rich than systemd. It's not. Nor is it more "unixy" --- it most definitely is not. If systemd-haters come to Guix because they despise systemd and want something small and simple they won't be happy with the Shepherd.
