    I shall be forever mystified by those that don’t think SystemD is a bug-ridden, intransparent, and control-freaky mess. They exist, clearly, and at least some seem smart otherwise. So it’s probably about as fundamental as vi vs emacs. As long as I still have the choice to use decent a *nix without it, I’m ok. Live and let live.

    Today. I’m really very sad. I really hope this will never be integrated into OpenBSD.

    That it is feasible, so be it!

    but let it be just a proof, and that’s it!

      InitWare aims to be like systemd, but portable, smaller and modular. The fact it’s running on OpenBSD is proof that it’s fulfilling those goals.

        like systemd, but portable, smaller and modular

        So, three things SystemD is explicitly the opposite of, in some regards quite deliberately and fundamentally.

        proof that it’s fulfilling those goals

        “portable”, yes, but neither “smaller” nor “modular” are evidenced by that.
