Which if you read the bug report linked from Linus's rant on LKML gets 
you exactly nowhere. Which is why half the people are polarised against 
systemd. it's not just that it is (IMHO) a bloated over complicated 
behemoth for a PID=1 binary, the developers are more likely to tell you 
to work around a bug rather than fixing it.

I don't want that nonsense at the core of my systems (I have nearly 200 
to worry about).
