That attempted diversion doesn't fix systemd. As ConsoleKit is no longer
supported, it's irrelevant history - a poor diversion from what you're
failing to rationally defend.
Are you capable of understanding that users can not be bludgeoned into
approval of work done "for your own good - so there!", no matter how
religiously self-righteous the developers become over its right to
replace and fossilise all it can reach?
Do you understand that my opposition is not motivated by dislike of DDs
or systemd's init performance, but merely by deep-seated opposition to
megalomaniacal overreach of whatever colour?
The *nix way is for each tool to perform a cohesive set of closely
related tasks, not mimic M$, no matter how much that would help
corporates monetise Linux.
