I understand your good motivations but just saying "it will be ok" doesn't make the problem go away. Yes I can write my own init system, that's good. Can I uninstall systemd from most system that install and depend on it by default. Write my own distro? You can't just easily plug and play it.

It is a big like the kernel. Just swapping out Linux kernel with a FreeBSD one doesn't quite work.

> system not baseless accusations that they are making a power grab.

With that I agree. Maybe to get the conversation back on track is to present a few valid technical points in response. Or just ignore it. Saying "hold up people, no fighting please" doesn't work as well in such forums.
