It doesn't look like there was an open design review; Lennart Poettering just dropped it in in v38. https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-January/004188.html https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-Ja...
- pengaru 2mo agoFWIW the journal file signature is "LPKSHHRH" for Lennart, Kay Sievers, Harald Hoyer, Red Hat... I presumed it was at least Lennart, Kay, and Harald who collaborated on the design.
- p_l 2mo ago... Sounds like a signature on a patch that triggers an epic Linus rant on LKML[1] [1] Happened few times, I think RedHat as a whole even got banned from sending changes for a short while
- giov4 2mo agoI think this also explains a lot and should not be ignored. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15292#issuecomment-777276876 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/15292#issuecomment... It seems a recurring (handling) issue but unfortunately it affects multiple linux distro defaults. This is the worse that can collaboratively happen for FOSS in general imho.
- brohee 2mo agoAh, the Ulrich Drepper school of dealing with reported issues. Time for esystemd ;)

- pineapplepizza6 2mo agosystemd is not a collaborative project. It is Lennart's personal cathedral project and you can take it or leave it. That's fine for Lennart, the question is if it's so bad then why are the rest of us taking it instead of leaving it?
- otterley 2mo agoProbably because the overall impact is not as bad as extremely vocal people on GitHub and HN would have you believe, and more people like systemd than dislike it.
