That said, I don't like the attitude of systemd devs at all (like I don't like the attitude of GNOME devs...). But the only way to make them lose it is to build something better than systemd - before it becomes so entreched that getting it out of a linux box will be impossible without losing basic functionalities.
That said, systemd is not really that much monolithic.
Except that it offers a pretty good explanation for why people get so crazy about these debates, and provides a context under which I can say there is legitimate debate that ultimately boils down to personality differences.
(This is one problem I have with the HN stance of politics-avoidance. What happens when politics is the completely honest answer?)
So I won't be flagging this one.
