You consider 'Remove that person please' a software discussion? In what world?

Did you even discuss software? I see just an attack against a person and some vague anecdotes, "friends complain too", waive hand.

Note that your post is infuriating, but the submission is worse. This thread is why title moderation has a right to exist (for future reference, given that I hope someone's going to fix the title: It was "Lennart Poettering wants to remove syslogd; use systemd journal instead").

Would you tell me what title you'd expect? I honestly don't know what you think is wrong with it. I don't think ranting against the title without providing a reason and/or better suggestion is very constructive.
I considered that obvious.

"F20 System Wide Change: No Default Syslog" would be a good choice: It's the subject (both 'the mail header called subject' and 'the subject to discuss') of the thread you linked to.

Rephrasing that a la "Proposal to remove a syslog from Fedora default installations" would be fine.

Dragging a person into the title is just asking for trouble and attacks and serves no purpose. The proposal is technical, the discussion should be technical.

You deliberately put his name into the title. Why? And why just him, not both owners:

Change owner(s): Lennart Poettering, Matthew Miller

You had an agenda, even if it wasn't a conscious decision. That's just wrong (and not constructive either ;-p)
