Is the project a new site sponsor or something? :-) I get it that systemd has some benefits - faster startup, more reliable production administration. And at the same time it's not everyone's cup of tea - for example, many believe that the strength of UNIX is many simple and interchangable commands rather than big monolithic code base controlled by a single team. Anyway, there have been 251 previous versions of systemd, so it's not clear to me why this one is special and deserving of our attention after another systemd related story yesterday?

You do understand how Hacker News voting works?

  Yes. Clicks on the voting arrows go to the HN backend, which routes them to systemd-votecount, which then generates article rankings and publishes them over D-Bus, from which the backend picks them up and renders them as HTML.

> Anyway, there have been 251 previous versions of systemd Trivia: when udev (which was at v182) was merged into the systemd project, they skipped from v44 to v183 to align the version numbers; so there have only been 112 previous versions of systemd.
