And described constructive motives.
I did. But in the first paragraph of the email, I *did* have a typo, where I missed out the 'd' in systemd, which is what I assume Andrew is referring to. I'm amazed that a typo can bring such an emotional reaction - my email was really not about systemd, but about the fact that "Debian Works" - at least for me. I cannot speak for others. I feel it is important to praise (or at least: acknowledge) the things that go right. And my upgrade went smoothly. A lot of work has gone into Debian, and I believe it is very important that we encourage the things that go right - just complaining about the wrong things is insufficient and probably not constructive. The fact that some people dislike what runs on my system[1] is immaterial as far as I am concerned. My system works for me. [1] Yes: "system". No "d". That's on purpose.
