and its downstream variants with some success, some failures, but
always interesting. I’m very empathetic to Steve Litt’s feelings on
the systemd stuff, and am particularly inspired to reply to the latest
missive on the possibility that Red Hat’s darling Mr. Poettering is
primarily motivated to make Red Hat Enterprise lots of money in
offering paid support of systemd Linux operations. As per politics,
religion, educational prerogatives, and historical perspectives as
officially endorsed, in the case of Linux and systemd, FOLLOW THE
MONEY TRAIL. That nearly always works in tracing the sources of derision.

From the perspective of a retired programmer/analyst, now dilletante,
you Dejuan folks are on the precipice of success.
Again, the right term is DevJuan (in spanish)
See the forest over the trees, get your message out as an upstream
solution to Linux in the enterprise - from servers to employee
desktop/laptop solutions, there is no reason that systemd-free Linux
alternatives can’t supplant the Red Hat, etc., cabal. They have MONEY,
and that buys them exposure. My former employer, a major university,
has bought Red Hat support hook, line, and sinker. You guys aren’t
even on the radar. I only am aware of your position and offerings as
an old fart hobbyist with time to explore. I wish you well. How can
you compete with the power that is money that propagates Red Hat,
Canonical, et al? That’s your main dilima right now, perhaps on the
threshold of eclipsing your system development tasks.
Cheers.
