Technologies change. The best path to follow can change. Switching paths over two years is surely acceptable and reasonable for any company. Claiming that Canonical "pretended" is false and misleading - or do you have any evidence of this?
> Looking into the git contributions he is not even the one who contributed most!
Others have already rebutted this: udev accounts for most other contributors, leaving Lennart for the vast majority of systemd.
Do you have anything to say that isn't deliberately misleading?
