Ah, I see.
I made clear that I think the Arch devs have a difficult task, trying to keep the Arch spirit while keeping in sync with upstream. This may prove impossible if "upstream" is taken over by a couple of devs with a huge superavit of self-esteem and a deficit of esteem for Unix. Again, having contempt for Unix is perfectly legitimate, but they should assume it and start their own OS. One can always hope that things will change for the better upstream.
I'd like to point out that systemd upstream is very easy to work with, and I have never had problems getting in changes (except for when I was wrong of course). If you have technical concerns and phrase them in a technical way they will be taken seriously. Admittedly there is not much patience for non-technical objections. -t
