What government are you talking about? Does "free" education implies the obligation to give all your life work output to the government? This seems very foreign, please name at least one country that implements those ideas.

Even if only one person can't use the internet because of this tax, that's more than enough reason to avoid it.

There have been some schemes in Europe to tax Internet-related services, but they were mostly a result of lobbying and at least benefited some group, like unionized film makers or ISPs. But the difference is nobody welcomes this tax.

Absolutely not, only if they depend on systemd. If they follow UNIX conventions, they don't need to edit a single file. Writing a daemon init script was a solved problem decades ago, and that script will serve for every init system.

Mr. Snowden's revelations prove that "a smell of conspiracy theory" is not a strong enough argument. Obviously Red Hat is interested in widespread systemd adoption, and that message might offer an explanation as to why debian

The problem is that systemd is taking a lot of work better spent in other parts of the project. Instead of testing systemd, it's better to user simpler components, systemd is evolving, introducing more bugs, and people like that packag

I agree with everything you said, my point was that it's necessary to be prepared, in case systemd becomes a hard dependency for Debian, which is likely given that more software is depending on systemd, and the lead developer is trying

Not really, I use a dozen init systems, each for a different situation, and I'm interested in keeping it that way. The problem is that systemd is that is being forcefully pushed to all distros. For instance, by merging udev with system

Come on, this horse has been beaten to death already... I'll just say, a GNU/Linux distro has many components, but they're not monolithic because they integrate well, you can do ls|grep etc, you know this. But if we want to c

Okay, I was saying, just because some people doesn't know, it doesn't have to be FUD, that'd be just an ad hominen attack. I've been a user of Arch back before systemd and I know your points are mostly right, but as you

Not really, remember daemontools? There are almost a hundred init systems very superior technically compared to sysv and systemd, the truth is that sysv has NEVER been considered the best.
