And systemd seems to be similar. I also don't like that you want to imprint this systemd stuff everybody even if one doesn't have systemd installed.
You are free to reimplement all those tools and ship a competing package. The configuration formats are well-documented, so it should not be hard.
See systemd-tools and systemd-cryptsetup. Well, I know that you filed the issue about reading the key rawly from a block device to upstream. But they did forgot it.
What are you talking about? No one forgot anything. This is what happened: You pointed out a feature that initsrcipts used to have which systemd-cryptsetup lacked, (on the same day) I posted a patch to implement the feature you requested, and asked for feedback (which you didn't give), one week later I posted the patch upstream and (on the same day) Lennart replied: "Applied." The functionality should now be part of systemd 188, which is in testing. What more could you possibly ask for?
I have the impression that Lennart only thinks halfway through and doesn't have much knowledge about professional computer and UNIX usage. Maybe his ideas have some good aspects, but he simply can't implement it professionally and in a UNIX style. He seems to only think about desktop users but definitely not about (semi-)professional users.
I have the impression that you don't have a clue what you are talking about.
And run a `ls /usr/lib/systemd/system`. The harddisk is filled up with a bunch of systemd stuff which I don't need and don't want to have. But I am forced to have at least half of systemd on my harddisk, even if I don't want to have systemd.
Why don't you just delete the things you don't want? -t
