Just as people nowadays exclaim "Stallman was right", I suspect that in the future there will be a similar sense that "Barry was right", particularly once Linux users find themselves legally mandated to run some kind of "systemd-gatekeeperd" to check that they aren't executing any binaries whose hashes (or developer signatures) appear on a government-maintained blacklist. (I know that technically this functionality could be implemented without systemd, so a government could pass a "Gatekeeper"[0] law regardless of whether systemd existed, but the way it integrates with the boot process, especially so-called "Secure Boot", and the kernel, and controls process permissions, means that 90% of Linux users are just one unwanted software update away from complying with this law. That in turn makes it much harder to oppose such a law being introduced).
