> politics had nothing to do with system's adoption

So Poettering wasn't an employee of Red Hat when he was writing systemd, wasn't coworker of Fedora developers when they were adopting systemd and all its subprojects? He also wasn't working at the same company with Gnome developers when they were making logind a hard dependency? I bet he also didn't have anything to do with his coworker Kay Sievers taking over udev maintainance only to subsume it into systemd shortly after.

Politics has nothing to do with systemd's adoption, really.
