It seems like the argument being made here is that perhaps the systemd developers are afraid / unable to innovate in the kernel, which is in fact the overall system-wide daemon and parent to all processes.
- EmanueleAina 11y agoI'm not sure I understand your comment. Are you proposing to move all the systemd features in the kernel? Why do you think it would be a good idea. Note that one of the stated goals for systemd is to make good use of all the new fancy features are already available in the Linux kernel but not many people use because they are not portable (eg. control groups). Also note that some cool features have already been merged in the Linux the kernel after the systemd developers created them (eg. memfd).
- davidstrauss 11y agoIf that were the case, wouldn't the author support the kdbus work? It seems like they're not a fan of that, either, given the (misleading) complaints about systemd's support for kdbus. Edit: phrasing
- c_rrodriguez 11y agoPeople working on systemd have submitted hundreds of kernel patches and implemented features that already are in the mainline kernel.
- digi_owl 11y agoWell their way of doing things would not get past Torvalds. Heck, he has more than once chewed out one of the principal systemd devs (Kay Sievers) for violating central rules of kernel development.
