Mark,

I really think you have put twisted words out here. I really don't
want to hear a debate that is going to take away from the depth of the
presentation on systemd. Lugod has open slots for meeetings, so I think
if you want to promote the merits of keeping the tried and true, so be
it and volunteer at the next meeting.

make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
