You do understand that systemd is open source, right? If they decide to leverage their "control" into something the rest of the community doesn't like, we fork

My concern is that when we'll see systemd grow in size and more and more software depend on it's interfaces and components (as in GNOME with logind) at the certain point it could take an insurmountable amount of resources to maintain the fork. At this point it might be easier to give up on Linux and build around some other kernel and userland, I hope this will never happen, though. Also, there is a difference between steering the developments in the preferred direction and outright destructive actions.
