I bailed out to OpenBSD years ago precisely because of stuff like this. Actually for me the real problems began with systemd but that's a whole different story.

I bailed out to OpenBSD years ago precisely because of stuff like this. Actually for me the real problems began with systemd but that's a whole different story. I find with modern Linux that it's difficult to know what's even going on in the system any more. That's a problem and you're right - the various parties will condescend to you and abuse you if you object to whatever the plan is (they're not really saying what it is either).
