Yeah, as i stated i am not questioning systemd good or bad, useful or not, but the non-techinical aspects highlighted in the links...

I am not debating it's good or bad from a technical perspective, i don't care, i am sure it's good otherwise why use it at all.
Why are you focusing on that? I never said it's been forced, i never said its bad or evil, i never discredited it.
I think it's worth understanding if the non technical points are just FUD or not, i worry about the future of Linux, not the future of it's init system whatever it is, all it need to do is satisfy it's function and OpenRC do it as well as systemd (there, with the small d is it different?).
I was under the impression SystemD was the name, with the capitals and all. Will fix the top post if this is somehow offending you. Whatever.
Did you read my post at all? Maybe I am not clear enough.
I don't care for systemd, I don't dislike it I don't like it. I don't use it but merely because I never felt the need to use it, or I would have use it.
What people think of the non technical reasons given in the links/post is what I am asking. Is it just FUD or there is a valid base to them?
Yes, that is one point. Having the main dev working for "the enemy". Systemd being developed by the main dev who is at microsoft? To me that rings some bells.
He will keep doing a great job, he is paid for this, but the point is that microsoft could try to control linux a bit too much, and so is IBM...
