I never said systemd shouldn't be packaged by default!

Someone already talked about putting it back in the forums. They were
turned down because of those points («no reason for 2 methods», etc.).
This among other things (which are evident in any discussion in Arch
about OpenRC) signals a bad community. There were many great users that
stopped using Arch because of this, it is a problem that needs to be
recognized. I don't anything near this kind of attitude, say, in Gentoo
mailing lists.
