Is that actually the case, or was it initiated and paid for by RH (as I suspect) ? Even on the basis that RH didn't actually pay for it at the start, having sunk funds in to it now I would say that it is undoubtedly causational :-) IMHO the vulture capitalists and marketing men saw a neat way to blindside developers and converge Linux distros to increase their market dominance and share, ultimately to flog more stuff. They are a business after all. Got to make their profit and keep their share holders happy somehow. The other thing I have long wondered is why Mr Torvalds is so quiet on systemd. I guess the answer is if he stands up and shouts too much he gets branded as a bad boy, intransigent, hampering progress et al, thereby giving RH the justification to dump his kernel in favour of systemd. Interesting times ahead methinks....
