Technical issues aside, I went through the list of members of the tech-ctte, found here: https://www.debian.org/intro/organization. I searched each name on the list on Google, and I can't honestly find any evidence that the committee is "stacked" with Redhat and/or Canonical employees. I'd like to see some proof of these assertions before I'd give any credence to claims of conspiracy.
I understand that change is hard. But I encourage people to research the technical issues before jumping into starting a flame war or making broad, sweeping assumptions. Conrad gave us a very clear and concise explanation of why systemd is an improvement over system V. I am not even close to advanced enough to have much of an opinion on the matter, but if anyone would like to explain to me why they feel that System V is superior, I'd be interested to hear your arguments, provided they're based in fact, technical information and practical knowledge, and not in nostalgia, emotion or resistance to change.
