I just read an article that says systemd is taking over linux and linux is not linux anymore: http://blog.lusis.org/blog/2014/11/20/systemd-redux/
I kinda have to agree which is partially why I'm not using it. Will Gentoo have any plans of forcing its users to move to systemd or will I always (such as its always roughly been) have the option of using init and openrc as it is now? I personally have no reasons currently to switch from one to the other. It seems like it might be a great thing if you have linux containers.
