        Can you elaborate? Are there a lot of security holes in systemd? (Genuine question)

          I’m pretty sure their arguments boil down to “big company bad” as systemd is developed by Red Hat. Putting a single entity’s products in charge of several basic functions of the computer (like booting, init, daemons, networking) is seen as a bad idea, especially Red Hat which disgraced itself by making the RHEL source code available only to customers (which does not violate the license), but so far I don’t know of any solid evidence of security holes caused by either incompetence or malice.

        I’ve been waiting for 4 years to be part of one, but it has yet to become a reality 😔
