Good overview, but the kick off was that a simple bug in systemd was flooding the kernel log. Rather than ask for that bug to be fixed (possibly assuming it was intended behaviour) they asked for systemd to ignore a flag that is expressly designed to be read by things other than the kernel.

The fact that the original flood of messages was as simple bug renders the whole "territorial pissing" thing somewhat more pathetic than it appears at first.
