I find the Dropped Components section encouraging. It has me imagining this project as a way to supplant systemd on Debian-based systems, for a compatible init system without the endless meddling and overreach that come with Poettering&#x27

It is disappointing that they use Cloudflare, especially since most Matrix metadata hasn't yet been moved to the end-to-end encrypted channel. (Arathorn: is e2ee metadata still on the roadmap?) But no, not all your data is exposed. The
