I don't run gnome, but kde is just as bad in this case :(

I am primarily thinking of a few servers I've setup with archlinux.  I
really don't look forwards to run all the overhead that systemd will

Will try to refrain from further comments now, since I don't want to
pollute this list with flames...

Thanks in advance for the time I still have left with arch :)
