I've been thinking about pasting this news into my Facebook. Three times, erased each time.

"Guy gets multiple death threats because of the program he wants to start his computer is different from another program other people want to start their computers."

This isn't a hilarious nerd fight. This is some really misguided people who don't know how to communicate.

No, it's more, 'guy gets multiple death threats[1] because he wishes to make it immensely more difficult for other people to use the program they want to start their computers, and also worsen the stability of the computers of those who use his preferred program.'

[1] Has he gotten death threats, or simply death wishes? There's a big difference between threatening someone's life and, believing him to be a net-negative to the world, being pleased when he dies.

Death threats, death wishes... it's over an init daemon on a software project.

I can't imagine "Someone wants to paint the front door RED?! They should die." happening under any circumstances. It's concerning to me, on many levels, that this is happening over systemd, regardless of the technical benefits or issues.
