War.  Using the word in this context makes a mockery of the word.

Some people will do anything to stir the pot.

I'm a Fedora user.  I'm _supposed_ to be exposed to the bleeding edge.
Systemd has caused zero problems for me.  The only thing I noticed were
the new commands and the  fast start up and shut down.
The new commands are a blessing.  Monitoring services has reached a new
level of ease of use.

PulseAudio was a pain.  Systemd, no problems at all.

To all the people fleeing to FreeBSD (all 5 of you),
be prepared for the inevitable.
